BIND 8 doesn't limit its memory use, so it might crash some time, especially on busy servers. Apache 01-16-2002, 04:29 AM Ye I found out BIND9 is not that stable, but i got checksrvd working so I hope that works. thewitt 01-16-2002, 11:12 AM You guys having BIND problems should consider switching to DBJDNS (Formerly TinyDNS). It's faster, more stable, and more secure. -t priyadi 01-16-2002, 02:16 PM Originally posted by thewitt You guys having BIND problems should consider switching to DBJDNS (Formerly TinyDNS).
