Ugh. I was not thinking of BIND. Yes it is a standard.
Yes it does have holes. Yes it does have memory leaks.
Yes it is slow. Yes I do know that 90% of the world
uses it. You do not have to. Try out Dan Bernstiens
DNS for some bulletproof, fast, small process/memory
dns. (oh, and it does comply to the RFC, unlike todays
BIND, which we take for a standard)

Sorry for the speal on Dans dns here, but I have had
my fair share of BIND (for over 7 years), and would
like people to know they have a choice.
