BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server

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

bleachboy writes "Last week I completed a new DNS server survey, since D. J. Bernstein's hasn't been updated for years. Not surprisingly, BIND wins. Why is it so hard for alternate DNS servers to gain favor, especially when BIND can be so frustrating sometimes? And yes, I'm shilling."

    The author actually will pay $50,000 to whoever finds the first exploit in it or something.

    Actually the reward is $500 and there have been problems with it but DJB (the author) weasles out of paying. Google for "djbdns fraud" or something.

    Please explain how you managed to fingerprint DNS servers. I don't think many DNS servers have version identification fetures. BIND does but it's not exactly a standard. ...or maybe even a good idea.

    This surey ranks up there with "Most dentists recommend brand X" marketing for me. The accuracy of the sample set is extremely questionable.
