I doubt that will help Stephane. djbdns has been broken for ~20 years -- no AXFR, no EDNS0, no TCP/53, no DNSSEC, no TSIG, etc, etc -- and likely to be that way forever. DJB no longer supports or maintains the software, apart from fixing security vulnerabilities IIUC. So the DNS is probably always going to be stuck with that abandonware being in the state it was in at its last "stable release" in 2001. The best we can hope from naming and shaming is to encourage people to keep away from implementations that are broken and/or cause serious interoperability issues. Whether that advice will get heard and acted on is another matter of course. Darwinism will eventually take care of the poor DNS deployment choices anyway. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
