It's an extra cost that serves no useful benefit. There is no point in making the DNS system any less reliable. > I'm starting to wonder if djb has penis envy, he's (once again) > bashing sendmail. <sarcasm> Yes, the entire point of that page was to bash sendmail. It didn't have anything to do with pointing out the interoperability issues involving CNAMEs in mail. In fact, sendmail wasn't even relevant and didn't need to be mentioned at all. </sarcasm> > It's easy to do with just about any DNS software. It's much more difficult to do with BIND, due to the zone file format being more complex. You would practically need to store the data in a different format and generate all the zone files from it. And if you're going that route, you might as well look at a different solution like MyDNS. > Are you being paid to market djb's software? (Are you being paid to be an ass?) Being a pragmatic systems administrator means choosing the best tools for the job. Dan Bernstein writes excellent software. It would be silly to ignore all of it simply because you dislike him as a person. But that is your personal choice. In case you were wondering, I don't use tinydns now for authoritative DNS. I use MyDNS. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
