Interesting thread. The main thing that one poster mentioned, "walt-sjc",
which I agree with and is straight to the point, and the cause of many
issues due to misconfiguration, whether it's MS DNS or BIND, is that admins
NEED to learn DNS to understand what it does and how it does it and once
that's understood, it doesn't matter what flavor you use.

Interesting about the Sendmail references as well.
