Dear all I think newer releases of Debian like Debian Testing should have the newer versions. Compiling from sources is also not a problem. It appears to be straight forward. Although, I am yet to test them.
I am in the phase of deciding whether to use NSD for Authoritative services or not. I am also considering the two others:. 1. PowerDNS - Has got a very good reputation and a very good manual. 2. Knot - Very good security features and manual. But I liked the lightness of NSD and wanted to know if it would be OK to use it for a long run. The list is very sparse I think. Nobody seems to be responding. Thank you for your reply.
