Software: Features
djbdns (dnscache/tinydns)
- Cons
- Does not, and author’s code will not, support new DNS features
- DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, NOTIFY, EDNS0, IPv6, etc…
- Natively supports very limited set of record types (from http://www.fefe.de/djbdns/#recordtypes)
- SOA, NS, A, MX, PTR, TXT, CNAME
- Design appears to be aimed at answering some security issues of older versions of BIND
- Many of which have been fixed by later releases of BIND 8
- Obviated by BIND 9
