4 unusual facts about Comparison of DNS server software


Comparison of DNS server software

This article presents a comparison of the features, platform support, and packaging of independent implementations of Domain Name System (DNS) name server software.

Each of these DNS servers is an independent implementation of the DNS protocols, capable of resolving DNS names for other computers, publishing the DNS names of computers, or both.

They also (typically) cache the result to answer potential future queries within a certain expiration (time-to-live) period.

In addition, they support the TSIG protocol, which allows DNS clients to establish a secure session with the server to publish Dynamic DNS records or to request secure DNS lookups without incurring the cost and complexity of full DNSSEC support.
