Is there any advantage performance wise to run the DNS on the same machine
as Imail?? I am putting up a new mail server and we are looking at
implemented a DNS server with a sole function of supporting mail.
With DNS running on the IMail server, there would be a slight performance
hit, but it sh

We've run Windows DNS (on our mail server as well) for several years with no
problems. I haven't ever seen a performance comparison of Windows DNS vs.
BIND, though.
Scott, what's your rationale behind recommending BIND instead?
Because I have heard many, many reports of problems with Windows

I thought that BIND was the DNS that runs on *NIX. I guess they have
ported it.
It's been available on Windows for quite some time -- it just isn't as

Since we are running IMail (ie Windows) what is the performance of the
Windows DNS service? I know that it works but how good/fast is it? If
you are going to run a Windows DNS server would you recommend running it
on the IMail box or on another one?
