If you administer 2-3 domains, sure it's an hassle, if not, put code-monkeys
to work. Most script people I know love the tinydns zone structure in comparison
to bind's one.

because instead of MX you have . or + or - or : or something so helpfully
meaningful... same for NS and A and CNAME... Yes, 1 more level of
indirection is not always a good thing.

(not that I dislike djbdns, i just don't understand why things have to be
'different' so very much... and if bind works, why use djbdns?)
