I haven't had any problems like this: I've found it's disk and memory consumption quite low. > It also had HUGE problems with RSYNC. Been a while since I used rsync (over ssh). I'm slaving a couple zones for people I secondary for; they're still running BIND so I can't use rsync for them. I found Russ Nelson's "axfr" tool to be *very* helpful and easy to use for this. > Are you a DJB Co-religionist? No: I find his code painful to read, but the software does work very well in my experience. Most users don't need to look at his code any more than they have to look at BIND's code. > Please take further discussion of this to the Bind Mailing list.... The original query asked for help, and I'm trying to provide it. From what I've seen on the BIND and DJBDNS lists, your negative experience with DJBDNS is not typical. > ROFL Too bad qmail doesn't support that! [split dns] Huh? qmail's simply an MTA and will use which ever resolver your /etc/resolv.conf points at. I fail to see how this is relevant and don't understand what it is that you refer to when you say "doesn't support that". I have a NATed network using RFC1918 addresses. My qmail uses the local view provided by tinydns, via dnscache on 127.0.0.1; external clients get the external view of the public hosts when they query my domain on it's (NATed) interface address, for mail or anything else. Works very well for me. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
