i have never need to buy documentation in order to successfully depoy djbdns
on multiple servers. djbdns is well documented and whatsmore it has a
smaller footprint.

tinydns is popular, welll-used and well-examined but you don't see even
1/10th of the security holes and problems with bind.

anyway, i don't mean to get into a religious war, i just find tinydns/djbdns
to be excellent and easy to use software and so i am promoting it to this
person.
