Re: NSD vs BIND

NSD requires a restart of the daemon to add or remove zones (this should be resolved in nsd 4). So if this is something you do a lot and you need to avoid down time i would go with bind. In relation to dnssec belive 9.4.2 is able to serve a DNSSEC signed zone; however there where a few things it didn't support NSEC3 (avalible in 9.5) and sha256 (available in 9.7). If you are serving a simple zone and you dont care about nsec3 then you could probably get away with using the bind in base although you may be asking for trouble.
Re: ADSL2+ PCI card
Thanks for all the responses everyone it looks like the viking card may be what im after. - it presents itself as an eathernet adapter - it has a cli to configure te onboard ADSL2+ router - the network adapter REL8139 is suported by the rl driver Thanks all

It is clearly stated on the hardware compatibility list, under the heading of "RealTek 8129/8139-based adapters". sorry for not reading the manual

I just got the following response from a tech at traverse.com.au which inidicates it does work, thanks for he response "The Viking uses an RTL8139 NIC, so it appears as ethernet card and will work with any O/S that supports the 8139. So there will be no problems with xBSD, I've actually tried pfSense with a Viking at home and it worked fine."

Thanks for your reposne russell, what i have read agrees with your response however i wasn't sure if the rel8139 chip was supported, i couldn't find it on the hardware list
