BIND/NSD/MyDNS: which DNS engine do you use and why?

[albatroz]

Configserver guys replaced BIND in my server MyDNS (I don´t know why)
So I was wondering why they may have prefered it to BIND (the default).

BTW when I tried to change it back to BIND all my domains stopped resolving

Bind is the default choice. But it is resource intensive.

But I am not sure about the exact reason for the change

I have noticed that named service stops frequently
and don´t restart automatically even though I have the service monitor option enabled.

root@s4 [~]# /etc/init.d/named status
WARNING: key file (/etc/rndc.key) exists, but using default configuration file (/etc/rndc.conf)

Hello

Do you notice any entries in /var/log/messages when this happens?

Thank you.
