Quoting Trent W. Buck (trentbuck@gmail.com):
Not a bind9 fan....
I'm most definitely not, either. Thus the wording in the introductory section of http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html .
but since we're going down that rabbit warren,
[snip] Very nice.
I don't particularly care for adblockplus's lists, but I'm far too lazy to make my own, and I don't know anyone else (other than you, now, Rick) who maintains a list for me.
Yr. very welcome. ;->
Hm, have we had this entire conversation before? If so, apologies for my leaky memory.
It's very possible, and my memory's equally leaky (even if it weren't currently being clouded by a really nice Amarone Classico -- yum!). FWIW, I strongly recommend to people some combination of these alternatives to BIND9: NSD - authoritative only Unbound - recursive only PowerDNS Authoritative Server - authoritative only PowerDNS Recursor - recursive only Although in the past yr. humble servant mentioned favourably a number of other packages the DNS Servers bestiary cited above, IMO the increasing importance of DNSSEC protocols have gradually rendered all packages for *ix except the four cited above second-tier offerings. Well, technically BIND9 is _also_ in the running with those four -- except that its attractiveness is marred by all the various reasons you and I share for disliking it. ;-> -- Cheers, Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, Rick Moen "I know, I'll use Dvorak!"
