You got some messed up spaces, or maybe it's me? Anyway. I totally agree to what you're saying. I am running BIND myself and I am not changing. But this person who manages my upcoming NS2, he is the one running TinyDNS, and he is among the smartest software developers I know of, so his reason to use TinyDNS is not to be questioned. Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Mittelstaedt <tedm@toybox.placo.com> Date: Saturday, December 31, 2005 1:37 pm Subject: RE: How to convert BIND to TinyDNS? > > Why are you bothering?
