Needless to > say, there are plenty of qwerks with both camps. The biggest problems I've found with djbdns is Dan and the politics on the support list fosters. If your requirements for a DNS server fall within the scope of what Dan wants, then djbdns will work great for you. Otherwise, hack it yourself and forget about the patches. With BIND, it's the security track record. I like to think I'm smart enough to figure out a piece of software without tech support. I know I'm not smart enough to audit code.
