It depends on your configuration and the scale of your network. I run them on both my home network and my vps with no issue. On my home network I run Bind (because I also use dhcp updates to serve a couple zones). It's trivial to configure for caching lookup. It's a bit heavy on resources (comparatively), but is very powerful, and on a small network will run fine on any old hardware. On my vps, where memory is precious, I run pdns_recursor. It's exceptionally light on resources and still performs very well as a caching resolver. There's almost no configuration required. > praedor > > On Thursday 13 November 2008 12:01:34 Eugen Leitl wrote: >> On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 11:58:51AM -0500, Praedor Atrebates wrote: >> > Thanks for the link.
