Subject: djbdns Re: [olug] DNS recommendation?


I didn't hear anyone else mention djbdns... I used it for several months
on my home network for the same reason, so I'd have 1 host file!  Got to
setup my own spiffy domain like hostname.bkw.lan and that made it simple
for adding NFS and other rules to only allow hosts from *.bkw.lan 

The docs are pretty good, just read up a bit on the whole system... the
DJB stuff are not typical daemon, but rely upon daemontools and ucspi-tcp
I believe.  Simple though once you get used to it.

http://cr.yp.to  !and I just love that domain name!

avoid?  I've heard that BIND is big, slow, and a security risk.  Is this
true?  What about djbdns?
