Indeed, people generally use what is provided for them. And BIND generally does the job, which is enough for most folks. Most people, myself included, couldn't care less for any more functionality than responding reliably to a request for an A record, MX record, whatever.
I use TinyDNS for an authoritative nameserver. It is lightweight, reliable, and apparently secure. Yeah, it hasn't been updated in a while, but I have no need for it to be. I'm pretty sure BIND has had more releases for security updates and bugfixes than for new features. When folks look up my hostname, they get an IP address (well, assuming my 2yo hasn't found the power button).
As chance would have it, today I am unveiling my new prophecy submission site, Holyquest Prophecies. It is still new and under some construction, so please be kind. I invite all Slashdotters to come take a peek, just not all at once, please! I welcome all predictions, prophecies, educated guesses and deductions.
