i'm struck by the persistent rumours repeated by this text: Those who have been concerned with the number of security vulnerabilities found in the BIND server through the years, ... BIND9, being a different code base from the ones DJB has complained about, has already dealt with the "security vulnerabilities in BIND through the years". some day DJB and his followers should switch to the current decade when looking for things to complain about, maybe.
Just wondering how many have transitioned to djbdns from bind and if so any feedback.
if "transition" were a verb, i could point you at: http://www.isc.org/ops/ds/reports/2005-01/dist-servsoft.php (sorry about the frames, we're removing them, really), wherein it is writ: Count Server Software 77929 BIND 16000 Microsoft 2193 TinyDNS 564 PowerDNS 556 simple DNS 1038 others Count Server Software Version 36299 BIND 9.2.0rc7 -- 9.2.2-P3 20202 BIND 9.2.3rc1 -- 9.4.0a0 15396 BIND 8.3.0-RC1 -- 8.4.4 10069 Microsoft Windows 2000 3860 Microsoft Windows 2003 2673 BIND 4.9.3 -- 4.9.11 2163 TinyDNS 1.05 2053 Microsoft Windows NT4 1606 BIND 9.1.0 -- 9.1.3 1009 BIND 8.2.2-P3 -- 8.3.0-T2A ... note, that's just the servers found in this survey, and might not be representative of the full set (if there were such a thing as "full" in light of known horizion variability.) -- Paul Vixie
