DJBDNS supports these too but in a totally different fashion. it requires a DNS management "paradigm shift" :) > the reason i'm asking is i'm using djbdns for the office lan, but i use > bind for our central nameserver which has several slave dns machines, > including those of our providers. i feel i would be able to sleep > better at night knowing that the risk of the bind instances running > amok is lessened. in my opinion, BIND 9 with its chrooted nameserver running as user named is good enough. that's WAY better than when i ran BIND 8.2.something as root, and my machine was 0wn3d by the Li0N worm :) but in general, i find DJBDNS faster and i like it espousing the more sound way of managing DNS, that is, separating caching nameservers (dnscache) and authoritative nameservers (tinydns)... -dre _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
