It's by no means a fair comparison and contains a large number of wrong statements about djbdns' problems. If anyone is interested, I volunteer to dissect the paper and point out the errors in it. If you want an adversary's opinion, take a look at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/knowles.html or just start here: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html for more opinions on DNS and specific technical and political aspects, also on IPv6. FWIW, after reading both sides of this onslaught, I have the very strong feeling that this is less a matter of technical merit but heavy mud slinging because of clashing personalities. I'm very interested to get to know what person this Brad Knowles is, and how/why he has earned the trust you put in him. I mean, the limits of DJB and his software are well understood, but Brad Knowles is a stranger to me - yet. Best, --Toni++
