Re: DNS server crashed

[Jason Lewis <jlewis () jasonlewis net>]

I appreciate the suggestion, but it is difficult to change DNS servers on
production boxes.  I am the security guy, not the SysAdmin.  AS much as I
fight....  Politics plays a big role.  If it weren't for politics, all my
name servers would be upgraded.  It isn't a perfect world.

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.

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".
