which dns server to use ?

2003-04-05 Thread Markus Welsch
Hi all,

Which dns server would you suggest ?


 BIND ( http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ )
 djbdns   ( http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html )
 NSD  ( http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/ )


Pretty much importance is performance and security. I'm currently not
using DNSSEC or something alike so it wouldn't be a problem switching
away from BIND (even if I'd need to convert the zone files ...)

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/other.html speaks pretty negative about other
dns software (especially BIND), that's why I'd like to get your feedback
about the dns server(s) you are using maybe including a few stats if
that's possible.



Greetings,

Markus

All you need to know about who likes what, and why.. incl. the flame-war.

Enjoy !

I'm sorry - I surely didn't want to start of a flame-war or something alike
... I searched for dns server but didn't change the date filter, hence no
useful results.

port blocking

2003-04-05 Thread tech
I'm trying to lock down my server, which, for historical reasons *has*
to run the various nis services.  No problem, I'll just block the ports
that ypfrx, yppasswdd, ypbind, etc bind to.  However, it seems that they
choose a different port each time.  As I don't want to switch to the
'block everything, only open needed' methodology (too much overhead to
keep all my clients working), how do I force the various nis services to
use only certain specified ports?  Looking at the man page, some of them
take a -p switch, but putting that into the /etc/init.d/nis file in the
--exec line 1) doesn't seem to work and 2) would be overwritten by the
next upgrade (iirc, the init scripts are not marked as config files).
Any ideas?

Thanks!
