djbdns (dnscache/tinydns)
- Cons
- Provides strange responses to query types it does not support
- Violates the “Be liberal in what you accept, conservative in what you generate” principle
- Without third-party patch, neither tinydns nor dnscache can listen to more than one IP address
- Because tinydns and dnscache are separate programs, you cannot have them both listening to port 53 on the same IP address
- Therefore, you cannot have both authoritative and recursive services on the same machine, unless you use multiple IP addresses
