Sorry, meant to reply to this one.
Actually: we are in a similar situation. We're currently running bind9,
and were interested in to switching to NSD for the authorative dns
services, but it seems that you have to compile newer releases (with
security fixes etc) yourself, or there is a repo somewhere we're missing?
We're on debian 10. It recommended to simply install the NSD that debian
comes with, and rely on debian for the security fixes?

Dear All,
I am working as a Professor in a University in India. For our
University, I want to set up an Authoritative Name Server. Currently we
are running djbdns, since long.
Although djbdns is a wonderful DNS server, the maintenance of it has
become very troublesome. It also lacks many new security features.
BIND9, I am not convinced if it will be useful in our case. Its a huge
piece of software, and we don't need all the features of it.
I was thinking of running my Authoritative Name Servers, Primary and
Secondary on NSD, as we are already using Unbound for recursive name
resolution.
I would like to get the comments from the users as to whether my
decision is correct or not? I have found that very few
tutorials/manuals/articles are available for the NSD setup . Being new
to NSD, I feel hesitant in replacing it by running DNS server with NSD.
Would like to have some suggestions and comments. Kindly suggest any
other alternatives, if that is useful in my case.
Thank you.
