It's kind of a pain to configure to be authoritative, and it has only *one* config file for all of your zones. And that config file has a very convoluted format. It's much faster than Bind, so it's great for high volume mailservers (or log analyzers) to point at, but that's all I would ever use it for. Bind 9.2.1 can serve 2400 queries per second on a PIII 550. And, Bind 9 is very easy to chroot. There's Howto's here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Chroot-BIND-HOWTO.html http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/bind9-chroot.html If you ever are seriously considering using djbdns, make sure you set it up on a test machine first. My experiences with DJB software is that it generally requires more administration, and administration of it is more of a pain in the ass (especially with qmail). I'm sure some of you might disagree, but trust me, when you have 10 qmail servers and a bunch of djbdns boxes, it becomes an administration nightmare. I still use djbdns for my mailservers to point at, but I'm looking at moving to Bind 9.2.1 if I can get the same performance out of it. Jay
