Re: [gentoo-user] BIND DNS?

[Sean Johnson]

For what it's worth, I'd second djbdns. I've been using it (and qmail)
for a long time now, and haven't yet run into an issue.

Cheers,

Sean

 Uhh, there is a bind package:

 maya / # emerge -p bind

 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

 [ebuild  N] net-dns/bind-9.2.5-r6
 maya / #

 Although personally I'd be tempted to recommend djbdns, much in the same way
 as I'd advise something like postfix over sendmail.  There's some info on the
 wiki on how to install and configure djbdns, along with links to more info:

Hm... Odd. I was searching the Portage database via gentoo.org and didn't see it. Your emerge string did the trick, though.I must of just had a brain fart or something. Thanks for your help.
