Works much better for me than BIND ever did, and it's very easy to script. The migration was not trivial, but much easier than the continual BIND problems that I seemed to encounter. See http://lifewithdjbdns.org/ and djb's site at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html Updating slaves is as simple as scp'ing the compiled file to them, and because all the servers use the same source file for serving queries, there is none of the often amusing zone transfer problems that BIND seems to have a penchant for. -- Jon
