Should you use a precompiled binary distribution (e.g., RPM, tgz, etc.), or should you compile BIND from source?

For most users, it's perfectly acceptable to use a binary distribution, provided it comes from a trusted source. Virtually all Unix variants include BIND with their "stock" installations; just be sure to verify that you've indeed got the latest version.

set of tools that you'd find at a DNS specialty store: simple, secure, fast, and safe when used as directed. djbdns is free software for Unix and Unix-like systems. djbdns can replace BIND or coexist as a primary or secondary nameserver.

tinydns (the public nameserver component of djbdns) is the second most used nameserver on the Internet.
