Did that long ago because Windoze 2k's DNS didn't support selective forwarding. We just needed that for our intranet services, so my best bet is that any of the bigger companies is runing BIND already.

Now, with loads of 2k3 servers around, we still use that BIND9 I set up on this Debian box, and I see no reason to change that.

cheers, wjl

With that said, we really, really, really need GPL DNS/DHCP servers of same or better quality than the ones from ISC. I can't remember ISC's license. Maybe it's just BSD. Regardless, we need one wrapped in the protection of the GPL IMHO.

But you have a good point. I'd rather use GPL software for each and every service...

cheers, wjl
