What's your application? You could add LDAP to lbnamed in ten lines of perl and define the zone as a stub in your "real" named. http://www.stanford.edu/~riepel/lbnamed/ If you don't need zone transfers (incremental and decaffeinated) and recursion (old style and new) and caching (weighted by authority) and dnssec and a zillion other features, you don't need BIND. -- Rich Graves <rcgraves@brandeis.edu> UNet Systems Administrator
