i have found BIND to be troublesome for running large(r) scale workloads.
Also, dealing with zone files just gets annoying, especially compared to DNS servers that support database backends.
- toast0 6y agoI haven't had to run large workloads, but for smaller workloads, having a zone file in version control is so much nicer than fiddling with a database.
- kazen44 6y agoi kind of agree with you their. but managing zone files when you have a couple of thousand of domains just becomes nearly impossible. also, lack of an api makes it even harder. personally I have been very happy with powerdns for a very long time. BIND works, but IMO is more of a legacy application compared to modern alternatives.
