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?

The performance isn't as important as the reliability, which isn't

high. I would recommend using BIND instead (we actually run BIND on
our
IMail server, and it works flawlessly).
I thought that BIND was the DNS that runs on *NIX. I guess they have
ported it.
Is BIND free?

It's been available on Windows for quite some time -- it just isn't as
popular on Windows. I don't know why, though.
Is BIND free? If so where do you download it from? Is it a purchased
product?
It is free, from

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

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

With DNS running on the IMail server, there would be a slight performance

With the increase in people trying to fight spam, nameservers are getting
bombarded with lookup request. Recently I understand that ATT has taken
steps to not allow lookups of most of the blacklists using their network.
The easy answer to this is to use your own DNS servers -- if you do (and

Your most efficient option would be to run your own DNS server. Then
YOU control the query volumes, and no longer rely on ATT.

I guess I was not clear. I do not use ATT (for anything) but we have seen
the load increase so much on our own name servers that we are adding more.
How many E-mails do you send/receive per day? How many spam databases do
you query for each E-mail?
At 100,000 E-mails/day and 20 DNS queries
