And run a dns server incapable of doing any real features most people use in bind? I will admit, that dan bernstein does write really nice code. But
totally with you Jurjen, I might guest that Jeremiah is referring to the fact that is you do a common "nslookup" it would give you timeout from the nameserver. There's a way to set up nslookup to work with dbjdns but anyway dbjdns comes with programs to do all that kind of queries, so I was just wondering what where those features of BIND.

Okay, I'll bite. (Just this once, though. :-) ) Please name the (some) features you use in BIND that aren't available in the djbdns suite. Also, please explain what you mean with "real" features. And a remark: just saying things like "complete lack of features" without ANY justification at all doesn't look very convincing. end -- Jurjen Oskam * carnivore! * http://www.stupendous.org/ for PGP key assassinate nuclear iraq clinton kill bomb USA eta ira cia fbi nsa kill president wall street ruin economy disrupt phonenetwork atomic bomb sarin nerve gas bin laden military -*- DVD Decryption at www.stupendous.org -*- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-security-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-security-help@suse.com
