Well, I see it as a lightweight alternative to bind and I think it's good because its simple, functional and easily auditable, but maybe it's only my personal opinion. > (Or do you believe being written in Python is sufficient reason to > choose this package over the others?) No, I don't believe that the programming language used to write a program is sufficient to choose it against others with similar capabilities, but if you try some of the DNS packages in debian you'll notice that, apart from bind, the majority of them need a RDBS or have less features than this one. -- Sergio Talens-Oliag <sto@debian.org> <http://people.debian.org/~sto/> Key fingerprint = 29DF 544F 1BD9 548C 8F15 86EF 6770 052B B8C1 FA69
