Great, i'll keep telling anyone using BIND to not to :-P


I am personally looking for an alternative to BIND. I just don't like djbdns :P

I have used bind, powerdns, djbdns. Out of all three, both powerdns and djbdns separate the cache from the authoratative portion, for instance, on powerdns, it's recursor lacks something to be desired, it has not matured - yet. So in that case, you end up running dnscache or bind as the backend caching nameserver.

From an ISP standpoint after having done pretty much all three, bind and it's operation and the way it is supposed to behave, is the best and least problematic (maintenance is not as easy as with the other two). Given the vast amount of help one may get on a small ISP and needing someone with enough experience to deal with BIND if you are going on vacation, anything much more complex than shutting down and restarting the server, is a pipe dream. Most people I ever got didn't have a clue about *nix, didn't wanna know, and were just Windows geeks. The new BIND mentions using different backends on the authoritative side, so maybe someone will come up with a plugin that will work.

I like Microsoft DNS Server better than djbdns. . . But I digress. . .
