* This is the modus mailing list * Well, you pays your money and you chooses your standard.
There are flame wars on these topics on the various newsgroups. No argument that BIND is the de-facto standard. If we start to discuss how well it follows relevant RFCs -- well, that's another matter. Even in the Linux/Unix world, tinydns/djbdns is a fairly major competitor and it's author talks about the "thousands" of holes in BIND's implementation of DNS. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kais Al-Essa Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 3:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] OT: DNS Servers * This is the modus mailing list * Dear Jerod, As far as I know, Microsoft's implementation of DNS is not fully up to standards. As you know, ole'Microsoft likes it their way only. Therefore, its highly not recommended to use their DNS servers !! So what we do is install the standrads based DNS Server: BIND. It FREE and available on the net for download. I suggest you do not use Windows DNS and instead install and use this standards based DNS server (BIND) where they have a version for Windows servers. I used it on Windows NT Servers and 2000 Servers with no issues.

We have some old DNS servers we need to upgrade and we are going to use 2003 DNS and I would like to know what pitfalls to watch out for.
