I totally agree. I got lots of timeouts during zone transfers. And since
incremental zone transfer doesn't work properly in BIND-8.2.2, I only get
the zone sporadically.

:) Perhaps one could actually write a reliable BIND that is implemented in a
efficient and secure way, but creating tinydns has surely been easier (not
easy, but easier)
