Hi List,

IMHO, I think BIND 9 is the definitive answer for DNS. 

I use Qmail  - really good mailserver, in my opinion the best around, but I 
don't like the way djbdns works even though djb recommends it for use with 
Qmail.

Bind 9 is secure and has some cool functions which makes it my number one 
choice every time.
