tinydns is a part of the djbdns suite. for me i just get it from cr.yp.to then patch it up to replace #define error to #include <error.h> > Lastly, > Do you still recommend BIND or the above two are better? For interoperability's sake, get a DNS server that would comply to the standards. While tinydns' security record is laudable, Dr. Bernstein has opposed to some of the RFCs (I'm not sure if these are already standards or just proposed) which unfortunately the rest of the world uses. Anyway, BIND isn't the only other DNS around - we've already tried PowerDNS and it's quite good - combines the design of djbdns (it's only a DNS server and not a caching nameserver, so you could still use dnscache which is quite a good resolver) with compliance to features found in BIND (AXFR, zone transfers, ...), and has some cool tricks of its own too (like interfacing to an RDBMS or LDAP aside from the standard BIND zone file). -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
