Thank you.

But I agree that the license issue is problematic. Meanwhile I have sent Dan
e-mail asking him to think about changing djbdns in such a away that the
patches to the port can go. That's a start.

In my view this particular discussion should not be about products (BIND
versus djbdns), it should be about how to provide DNS services on FreeBSD in
the most secure and reliable way.
