At any rate, in answer to your question, there seems to be a rift among the
members of the list bordering on religious hysteria regarding the "right"
port of bind (DNS) to use for NT.
Here's my opinion: Microsoft's included DNS is fairly functional, but I
was forced to change a registry setting (Forget which now) to abandon the
GUI interface and use flat text files because my secondary is a linux bind
daemon and it's infinitely easier for me to understand. There are a few
freeware ports of unix bind floating around, one on
http://www.software.com. There are also very pricey commercial products
that allow web administration and other cosmetic enhancements.
To be honest, due to the fact that they all perform reasonably well, the
performance/ability of the disparate daemons (to me) is not as big of an
issue as are the pricing and interface concerns.
