That, unlike BIND, people can't break into your system? After the last set of gaping security holes, I migrated from BIND to djbdns. Much happier now. If I ran a large ISP, I'd definitely use it because the computer-friendly "data" file is much easier to automate managing lots of domains than BIND's named.conf format. > On Wed, 28 Mar 2001 03:06:52 Sverre Valgeirsson wrote: > > You're more likely to get help on dns@list.cr.yp.to > > (send a mail to dns-subscribe@list.cr.yp.to to subscribe to the list).

Then run tinydns on each real interface so internal and external clients can query it. By the way, the most recent tinydns supports "split DNS" so you can have one view of your domain info available to your internal clients (e.g., all the info) and another view available to external clients (e.g., only your public hosts).
