Running Bind Jailed by the_ed · 2001-05-01 03:18 · Score: 3

With the widespread use of both Bind and exploits for Bind, it's quite important that people who choose to run a publically accessable nameserver do so responsible. While I still personally prefer djbdns for security, Bind does have its share of unique features, such as dynamic DNS.

So, the moral of this post is that in systems administration, like anything else, education is paramount. So, if you're gonna run Bind, this is definately worth a read.
