Tinydns is stable, fast, and the program 'obeys' my commands immediately. I was never sure if bind 9.x would completely implement anything it was told to do or not. Your biggest hurdle will be changing your mindset to accomodate a different way of managing dns. Once you understand how it is implemented, you will be amazed at the simplicity. Work through the docs and set it up on a test machine inside your lan. When you are comfortable with it, then consider a switchover. That would be my advice, YMMV. -- John Brooks john@stlbsd.org > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jan Knepper > Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 4:44 PM > To: FreeBSD ISP > Subject: DNS (bind or djbdns or ???) > > > Hi! > I am currently running bind, but am investigating switching > to djbdns. > However a quick look told me that I will have to install > daemontools too > when I want to get that to work.
