How so? You are claiming that for djbdns to be a BIND replacement it must read BIND zone files. How is that different from claiming that for something to be a sendmail replacement (the most common MTA on the Internet) that it must understand sendmail.cf? Is not the BIND zone file simply one implementation of storing DNS records? Is not the sendmail.cf simply one implementation of configuring an MTA? Maybe it would be more correct if I argued that a sendmail replacement should be able to read sendmail's mail queue? How about sendmail's other configuration files which actually define things like virtual domains, relay domains, etc...?
