O.k. BIND. On Unix or anything (it's there for NT too, but costs a
fortune and doesn't guarantee the accuracy of the configuration).

My question is, what is meant by 'popular', and why?

What is the most popular SMTP server: Sendmail? Webserver: Apache?

Why?

I'm a BIND man, Exim (vs. Sendmail), and an Apache man. My reason is,
not 'cos they are more popular than others, but because they work
better.

But, you have to be a command-line Unix man first, have to understand
what you're doing, have green fingers. Point-and-click is for the
also-rans.

But, point-and-click is the most popular.
