Hi Sean and John,

same with me.

- Simple setup
- clean structure
- rock-solid
- ressource-friendly

but you can use (e.g.) the loopback device for the recursive resolver. This
way you have a reliable (!) resolver for your server which will improve
security a lot in many cases. Furthermore you are not misused as publicly
available resolver in case you only want to provide authorative dns for your
domains.

ACK

furthermore djbdns can perfectly coexist with bind (use bind as secondary or
be socondary for a bind server)

I have used Bind for a while. After I switched to djbdns I begun to
understand DNS ;-)
