Simply what I meant by "their reinstall" is going to a new major revision
or someone rootkitted your box. Either would not pose a problem on
freebsd.
I have redeployed RHEL systems as well and it required a reinstall, the
upgrade left to many unstabilites in the system, not just the "cruft"
you suggest.
Its clear from that statement you don't run any BSD's and cost your
company money running RHEL vs Centos or anything free that a competent
admin could run just as well, perhaps the bit of money your company
could save you could use towards a ploy for a raise!

"Linux people and their reinstalls"?!
Somebody has confused Linux with Windows. We've been running RedHat Eneterprise Linux
(RHEL) systems commercially for several years (including our DNS servers) and the only
time I "reinstall" is when I'm redeploying a system and/or want to go to a
newer major release. As the prior poster said RedHat is still supports RHEL4 (7 years
or more) and RHEL5 (4 years or more) and has now relased RHEL6.
Redeployments don't require a reinstall - I simply do it (as I did for UNIX
system) to get rid of the cruft that is invariably left behind by redeployments
and in box upgrades from one major release to another. I'd do the same on BSD
if I were still running any of those systems.
Don't confuse hobbyists who like to tinker and reinstall at the drop of a hat
to undo their latest experiments with use of Linux in real data centers.

bind performances are excellent also on FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Myself if I were a big ISP I would use OpenBSD, mainly for a security
point of view.

Oggetto: Operating system recommendation
Hi, I want to know in your experience what is the best operating
system to run bind for an ISP. We currently have Debian for the 5
Cache servers and for the 2 Authoritative servers.
We have around 111851 success querys in the cache servers and around
7267 zones created in the authoritative servers.
We are doing a major re analysis for all the arquitecture and Debian
is changing to soon their versions and only have support for 1 version
before so I dont know if this is best option
Best regards and thanks
