DNS servers
I've just started playing with nsd, it appears very promising.
It offers authoritative serving only (only primary and secondary no caching or
proxying). It uses a database for all primary zones (fast startup). It
seems to have been designed for security and reliability.
It has basic compatability with BIND zone files, although I suspect that it
may not handle bad zone files as well (so you just have to get them right ;).
I'm thinking of putting it on some of my servers in the near future.
So this leaves DNS caching as the only reason for BIND. Is there a DNS server
that does caching better than BIND?
