We'll see.  My plate is pretty full right now; I don't think too much
has changed since that test was done seven years ago.

Oh, I agree 100%.  Read me djbdns rant:

Yes.  Use default zonefiles.  :)

Basically, right now my emphasis is supporting MaraDNS, testing the
upcoming 1.3.07 stable release, and rewriting the recursive half of
MaraDNS.  Then we can talk about improving the authoritative half.

Thank you for your MaraDNS feedback.
