djb is the initials for Dan Bernstein, a well known computer programmer. His
work on security related issues is well regarded.
The problem with djb's software is the copyright he puts them under. Debian
does not have a ppc djbdns because the licenses on Dan's code prevent binary
distribution, you have to compile it yourself. Many people find dealing with
djb and his software to be troublesome, others love his code.
maradns is a small dns server designed for security as well and is released
into the public domain so everyone has the right to do as they wish with it.
The 1.0.0 release was issued this morning and should arrive in Debian soon.
