Have you looked at maradns? The author claims it's faster than both bind and djbdns (http://www.maradns.org/speed.comparison.html). I tried it briefly a year ago and didn't run into major issues, granted the situation was low load. MaraDNS can work as both an authoritative and a caching server. At the time I didn't feel the burning desire to dump bind so I've stayed with the status quo so far. maradns is packaged for debian. Fraser
