	I disagree.  IMO, either postfix or sendmail 8.12 would be much 
better choices, for different reasons.  But then this isn't a mailing 
list/newsgroup about Internet mail services.

	Lukas -- If you tried to understand just the tiniest bit about 
the real problem, you would discover that there is damn good reason 
why over 95% of the Internet runs BIND, and that it is the *only* 
nameserver program used by the root nameservers.

	Luke -- if you could give us a little more detail about what 
version of BIND you're running and what you see in the syslog, we 
might be able to help you fix this problem.

	Before you contemplate doing this, I suggest doing a search on 
the archives of this mailing list for "djbdns" and "tinydns".  I'm 
currently working on a list of reasons why djbdns is inherently 
broken, and so far I'm up to item nineteen (and I think I just 
recently saw item number twenty on the list within the last couple of 
days).


	However, I will note that it is generally bad form to cross-post 
questions to multiple mailing lists like this, especially when one of 
the mailing lists is comprised almost exclusively of rabid adherents 
to a particular cult of personality that is focused on a self-styled 
David Koresh-like figure who is notorious for having one of the worst 
egos in the business.
