For running the Nameservers, yes. Compiling Gentoo packages will likely |
| 7 |
put your SD-Card under stress, but that's just how it goes. My Model B |

Rev 2 of 2015 runs dnsmasq as DHCP server, NGINX, Postfix, Unbound and |
| 9 |
more for a bunch of clients in a LAN. It is quite nifty as a local DNS |
| 10 |
Resolver and DHCP server, because it is usually the fastest to boot |
| 11 |
after the occasional power outage. |

I would not use it as an Internet-facing production Mailserver, though, |
| 14 |
because that would generate a lot of I/O, which is not a Raspberry Pi |
| 15 |
strong suit. |
