About:
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) implements an Internet name server for Unix operating systems. The BIND consists of a server (or `daemon') called `named' and a resolver library. A name server is a network service that enables clients to name resources or objects and share this information with other objects in the network.

[»] Bind or djbdns ?

However, you can setup rsync scripts & rcs to accomplish that. I'm using djbdns on my master dns server, and zones migrate via axfrdns+dnsnotify on slave bind nameservers. See this site for more info.

So using your analogy, you have your tongue up every BIND company member's ass.

Actually, I chose the "no-tonguing" option and wrote my own instead.

I could also reinvent the wheel if I wanted. But why when djbdns works great?
