I was fumbling through things, and stumbled over what was claimed to be
a 'fork' of MaraDNS:
http://alfadns.org/wiki/A_quick-start_guide_for_experienced_UNIX_and_Linux_admins

I don't see anywhere that Jefsey has forked anything at all, yet it's
not too bad as far as a third party HowTo goes.

I've been using your product Sam, since it first came out (almost,
anyway), and have been pleased with the performance and simplicity for
many years.

As an amusing note, what Jefsey doesn't realize, is that when he
contracted me to build and operate his short-lived rootsystem years ago,
I used MaraDNS for the hidden master he slaved off of, fed from my
PacificRoot zonefile.

Now it has come full circle and he's espousing the benefits of using
MaraDNS like it's a fresh discovery.

Well Sam, it's good to hear that you're back in the states, and I
certainly hope you pick up development (and not just maintenance) of
MaraDNS when the need arises.

For now everything is just dandy, but to think that you won't EVER
resume active development as future technological demands require it
would sadden me.

I'm glad there's an loldns, Bernstein painted himself into a corner as
far as I'm concerned and letting it go PD is what he should have done
much sooner, but even so, I personally prefer MaraDNS for my own zones,
and use named more for slaving zones served by MaraDNS than the other
way around most of the time.

Kindest regards,
