Many people run dns servers in chroot environment. Zones are
sophisticated chroot environment: doors mechanism + resource
management.

Well the answer is very straightforward (at least for me). DNS is a  
service that doesn't require the global zone, so it is better in a non- 
global zone. We run all of our DNS servers in non-global zonse.  
Especially for security this is a good thing, as well known DNS  
servers have security vulnerabilities form time to time. In the case  
of a non global zone only the zone is compromised and the attacker  
can't penetrate as deep as he could in a global zone.

So long

   in localzone?
   I would like to know the pros and cons of DNS to be in global zone than
   local zone. Pl. suggest me
