    Yes, he's cranky and exigent. But BIND and Sendmail have a long history
    of security vulnerabilities, and of being generally porcine. Dan's
    long-standing cash reward offer for discovery of vulnerabilities in his
    software has never been claimed.

    djbdns works brilliantly, correctly separates caching server which performs
    recursive queries from the domain server which responds only to queries for
    which it is authoritative.
