Post #202,279 by folkert 4/6/05 10:49:50 PM Reply	Absolutely nuffink. It is an inane "feature" If you have a wildcard DNS setup to deal with the names not defined then that should work the same. Bind won't do it automagically, as that would break DNS according to the RFCs... Which kind of sounds like Windows would do that by default. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]

Good to know I'm not completely senile. Thanks for the quick responses, Peter and Greg. You're helping me fight the propaganda war here.

Post #202,331 by folkert 4/7/05 1:45:35 PM Reply	I still like BIND. It has come a long ways since Bind 4. It now drop privs, after startup, just like SSH does now. It works on so many platforms it isn't even funny. I like Bind, because I know it. MaraDNS is easy, very easy. I just like the flexibility of Bind to give me what I want. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]
