Since I had a comment offlist about this I'll elaborate on this a bit (I used tinydns for many years but don't any more). - unmaintained upstream, you need to work out which of dozens of third-party patches are actually needed to fix problems and important lacking support (TXT/AAAA can only be done as 'generic records' without patching), and which patches are junk - awkward nonstandard logging format - awkward to run with multiple IP addresses, you have to run multiple daemons one per IP address - daemontools - the alternatives available now are much better than the alternatives available when djbdns was first available on the plus side, tinydns has a nice method to expire records at a certain time and a semi-nice way of doing split horizon dns, but this doesn't outweigh the disadvantages for me.
