I'd disagree for one main reason: BIND is Open Source, and tinydns is not.
More security compromises have been found in the former, but it has perhaps
100 times the number of users testing it and programmers examining it.
Frankly, as a programmer, I would not waste my time auditing tinydns when I
could make a bigger contribution to BIND.
