    Interesting that BIND only runs 80% of DNS servers, what is the other 20% made up of?

    Well, there's TinyDNS, djbdns and MaraDNS, just for starters. And whatever those Windows folks use on their server OS.

    Interesting to note that djbdns has already been patched to workaround the Verisign nonsense ....
