(i refer to cost rather than the > gnu definition ) i have never need to buy documentation in order to successfully depoy djbdns on multiple servers. djbdns is well documented and whatsmore it has a smaller footprint. tinydns is popular, welll-used and well-examined but you don't see even 1/10th of the security holes and problems with bind. anyway, i don't mean to get into a religious war, i just find tinydns/djbdns to be excellent and easy to use software and so i am promoting it to this person. <--> george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ "Quality Zope Hosting" Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ MSN: zettainet@hotmail.com ~ ICQ: 51907738
