[LARTC] DNS (bind vs dnsmasq for small dsl network)

[LARTC] DNS (bind vs dnsmasq for small dsl network)

[Bill Williamson]

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html

Have any of you used this? Thoughts/oppinions?

I'm setting up a router/firewall/etc to replace my current hardware dsl
router, and installed bind, but this looks much nicer and usable (for
something small like my setup).

I'll have 5 computers behind my firewall all the time, and up to 10-15 once
every other month or so for lan parties.

I've got htb/ingress/etc all happy now, just need to decide on the extras :)

I recommend you seriously consider using djbdns from
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html.

If you need help setting it up, E-mail me -- its pretty easy and for a
small setup, you'll end up editing one line per DNS entry in a text file.

is djbdns powerful enough to handle more than 500 domains ? many people
told me that djbdns is more secure than Bind, is it true ? I've installed
djbdns on my development server but don't have courage to install it on my
production server, my consideration is the stability, reliability and
security...

regards,
Jeffery Samuel
