I recently installed BIND 8.1 on a machine that only does DNS and it looks pretty good. The /etc/named.conf has a whole bunch of knobs, but you can start off with a simple config and tweak to your hearts delight. It comes with a perl script to convert old named.boot files. Thankfully, the zone files still use the same format. Incorporating the new resolve stuff into apps will take a little investigating. The library source code is particularly impressive, take a look at the eventlib stuff. The abstraction of the IO channels in C is excellent. This can be reused in a variety of network server applications. See http://www.isc.org to get a distribution. On 2.2 just do... make make install Edit /etc/named.conf (See the simple example at www.isc.org) Take a look at ./bin/named.conf for detailed examples. Edit /etc/rc.conf to startup named Regards, Mike
