OK, so let's accept their assertion that Bind is bad ;-) What other alternatives are there? A quick search brings up djbdns, maradns, powerdns (pdnsd) .

Alternatives to bind Posted May 21, 2008 17:33 UTC (Wed) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054) [Link] I currently use maradns for some low-traffic subdomains, and dnsmasq for dns on internal LANs. But it looks to me like nsd may be the best answer for replacing bind as an authoritative name server, so that's what I'm planning for the future. (djbdns is cool and all, but then you have to deal with the weirditudes of DJB's worldview.)
Alternatives to bind Posted May 22, 2008 2:55 UTC (Thu) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] FWIW, here's my DNS history over the last two years. Starting with... Bind compiled from upstream, which worked for a few months until idiotic security issues convinced me to move on so I decided to try mydns which is neat and super easy to configure (if you're familiar with SQL) but development kind of fell apart so I went back to Bind installed by the distro because, shoot, that should insulate me from all the idiotic security issues but when I found myself writing scripts to try to wrestle with the mess of creepy config files I bounced to MaraDNS. Love it. If Mara didn't make me happy, I was going to try NSD and PowerDNS in that order. But, so far, Mara has been making me happy.
