If so, avoid bind 9 (though I'd expect the ISC folks to address this eventually). 2) I have never used MaraDNS, but according to the site it's still under heavy development and is missing many features (AXFR & tcp dns) 3) Of all of the code I've read/seen/patched/tweaked, I personally put djb's stuff pretty far up there because it is easy to read, etc. The flip side of it being, I haven't had to do much to djb's stuff because it hasn't given me _any_ problems, so this shouldn't be an issue for 99.99% of people. DJB's also has a great track record for code stability, security, and performance. 4) As for the djbdns license, he doesn't really have one: http://cr.yp.to/softwarelaw.html -sc On Mon, Apr 02, 2001 at 01:39:03PM -0400, scanner@jurai.net wrote: > Delivered-To: sean-freebsd-isp@chittenden.org > Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2001 13:39:03 -0400 (EDT) > From: > To: John Brooks > Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: djbdns or tinydns > In-Reply-To: <000201c0bb1a$8eacb180$0b00a8c0@dle> > X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Precedence: bulk >=20 >=20 > If I were you I would stick to BIND 9 or the latest 8.x.
