If the OP doesn't need any bind-specific feature then why not use djbdns |
| 8 |
which has a better security track record. djb software are built from the |
| 9 |
ground up to be secure (as is possible), he also splits the "program" |
| 10 |
into smaller executables, each having a specific job thus making each of |
| 11 |
them secure a simpler task. Whilst bind and sendmail have made |
| 12 |
substantial efforts to be more secure, they are still built on legacy and |
| 13 |
bloated monolithic code. |
