NSD : great replacement for bind

[agnivo007]

NSD (http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/) works with BIND's zonefiles and has a very small memory footprint and usage. So, a great app for VPSs...can DA use this for it's VPS edition ?

Does it work with /etc/named.conf as well as with the zone files? If so, it may be a drop-in replacement. You could try it on a test server :) .

Neither of these say whether zonec can read standard named.conf files including their includes. That would be pretty important for me and a lot of other people.

For example, we have the following include lines in one of our named.conf files:

include "/etc/named/manual.named.conf";
include "/etc/named/proxydomains.named.conf";
include "/etc/named/reverse.named.conf";
