I guess it depends on who you are setting it up for. I have a caching 9.x DNS set up at home and it's been running for about 60 days now without any problem. I have a 9.1 DNS setup at work and it seems ok but hasn't really seen production loads yet. Scott is more of a DNS guru and I think I remember him recommending the 8 series but I can't remember which one. So at work for production I would probably take Michael's advice but at home I would go with the bleeding edge just for sh%ts and giggles. But then again what the heck do I really know anyway. :) -----Original Message----- From: Michael Burns [mailto:sextus at visi.com] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 4:19 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Setting up DNS ON Thu, Oct 04, 2001 at 03:32:20PM -0500, Brian wrote: > I'm setting up my first DNS server this weekend.

I'd recommend 8.2.5. There are exploits against everything before 8.2.3, and 9.x is still too new IMHO and I don't think the current Cricket book even covers it. -- Michael _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
