Re: Update on BIND ns_resp.c crash

I'm staying away from moving over to BIND 9 if possible.
Out of curiosity, why?

I don't trust it.  Also, we're probably moving to tinydns.  I had to write a
server management system that handled zone files and it was a pig to make it
correctly parse zone data, even worse to make it handle special cases, and
generally a big pain in the neck.  Tinydns data files are that much easier
for a machine to work with.

I don't want to get drawn into any debate about tinydns vs BIND, I get
enough of that on the djbdns mailing list.  I simply find that tinydns is a
better fit for what I want to do with it, and I don't feel that BIND 9 is
mature enough.
