BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who'd-a-thunk-it? dept.

    That would matter if you needed something from the author. Don't look at djbdns as a complete solution. Look at it as a toolkit for creating a dns server. It's like anything else in Unix -- it's designed to be part of a solution, pasted together using scripting. THAT is why Unix has been successful, not because of monolithic programs like BIND and sendmail.
