Good morning:
We're about to start moving our public DNS to in-house managed servers. My first thought was "Linux + BIND" and we're done. Someone in another business unit's IT dept. has suggested tinydns be used.
From what I could find, it looks like this software hasn't really had
any community drive behind it in a while. The latest RPMs on rpmforge are for red hat 6 and red hat 7. I very much dislike the idea of compiling my own because of all the overhead associated with making sure the system stays up-to-date and so on so this really puts me off already. Does anyone have an opinion on this software? It seems to have some strong virtues but maybe not enough to justify using it over BIND just because any Linux admin we hire could be expected to know BIND.
Thanks for your time,
djbdns is OK - if you have some frontend that prepares the data-files for it. Otherwise, don't bother. Well, the same is true in some way for BIND - if you have more than a dozen or so zones with frequent updates, you'll swear, too. Just different swear-words ;-)
How many zones do you manage, BTW?
Also, if you need IPV6 etc - djbdns is not really predestined for this....
