Re: BIND alternatives
These are certainly reasonable questions.

The main users of DNS for the organizations I work for are client machines
within the organization and their email servers. Also we need some DNS to
act as an authority for our domains.
Currently we use our ISP's DNS servers for name resolution and the free
DNS services of www.mydomain.com as authorities our domains. This works
okay, but I would like to have the control and fast turnaround allowed by
running our own DNS.

The constant reports of new BIND vulnerabilities, related to the fact that
BIND was not designed with security in mind. The complexity and that comes
from trying to be able to do lots more than I need.
