DNS: BIND vs djbdns
Hi, I'm wondering, does anyone of you are using djbdns (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html) instead of BIND? What are your thoughts. Apart from being vulnerable, BIND frequently crashed. Regards, Oyku
Hello
I'm wondering, does anyone of you are using djbdns (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html) instead of BIND? What are your thoughts. Apart from being vulnerable, BIND frequently crashed.
DJBDNS works and not bad. On our Server we use 250 Domains and creates the records from a database. Its not hard to configure if you understand the syntax. Greetings Adrian Senn -- |p mbox: adrian@senn.ch g mbox: adrian.senn@oui.usz.ch | |www: http://www.senn.ch/; http://www.cevinet.ch/ |

BIND crashed? That's strange.........I never had any problems with running BIND. I think BIND is the most complete - stablest - nameserver. (If you don't mind the security issues ) Bart
Sorry for the error :) I intended to write "crashes" not "crashed". Both BIND8 and 9 frequently (at least once in two days) crashes. BIND 4 was unsecure, but not so unstable. ----- Original Message ----- From: Schelstraete Bart <bschelst@bru-hub.dhl.com> To: Oyku Gencay <oykug@sbt.com.tr> Cc: SuSE Security <suse-security@suse.de> Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 12:41 AM Subject: Re: [suse-security] DNS: BIND vs djbdns

I've been running Bind8 for >1 year now and never had any strange "crashing" problems. And talking about security, chrooting and running as a non-privileged user seems to be enough for most security leaks, combined with the openwall patch against (some) buffer overflows you don't have to worry, I think.

Never had BIND 8 crash on me...Actually for the first time ever I had Apache report "dead" in red to me. Started again easily though. Matt

djbdns is fine but if you want to use DNSSEC then you have to use bind. Noah.

if bind crashes something with your system must not be correct. I run bind and djb nameservers, and apart of some differences in configuration they just "feel" the same when handling them. Be aware that chances are good, that whatever causes bind to crash could cause any other nameserver to crash too (a nic that dies under heavy load or something like that). HTH mike
