We ran BIND on Linux boxes for decades, but just got tired of the tedious maintenance tasks and error-prone zone file maintenance. SimpleDNSPlus has a great GUI, simple software update procedures, excellent realtime performance monitoring, and paid technical support. The pointless tedium of bare-bones BIND doesn’t make a lot of sense for resilient infrastructure.
SimpleDNSPlus is just one of many packaged DNS products. You choose one based on the features and scalability you need. -mel via cell > On Aug 7, 2025, at 6:36 PM, Rusty Dekema via NANOG <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Maybe I'm naive here, but would ISC BIND not be a reasonably good choice? > > -Rusty > >> On Thu, Aug 7, 2025 at 8:45 PM DurgaPrasad - DatasoftComnet via NANOG >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hello all, >> Do you have any recommendations for recursive DNS servers for a medium sized >> (20-30k users) ISP. >> We have used powerdns and unbound but sometimes find the caching times a bit >> on upper side.
