I am setting up a home based server, that will host a couple domain names on 768k SDSL. I have the server all lined up and I am wondering what I should do about DNS serving. I figure I have three choices. a) install BIND on my web/ftp/lan server (also doubling as network firewall) b) get an old junk box, like 300Mhz w/ 64MB RAM and use it as the DNS Server. c) use a free off-location service, such as zoneedit.com to handle DNS requests, that come to my static IP. With option (a) the server is a dual CPU, high powered workhorse, but I am worried about the security, and managability of putting all those features in a single box. agent dero
