ever thought about djbdns? http://cr.yp.to
I'm pretty sure you could get it to compile.
It'll work fine if you just want something to
keep you from getting hacked until your new
boxen come in.

Anyone aware of exploits for the recent BIND security holes?  I had a name

so it is low priority.

I suspect someone was attempting to hack it, but I can't find any evidence.
It was just hung.

Thoughts?

The word "spine" is, of course, an anagram of "penis".  This is true in
almost fifty percent of the languages of the Galaxy, and many people
have attempted to explain why.  Usually these explanations get bogged
down in silly puns about "standing erect".
