xyriadnsd - probably the worlds fastest DNS server for *nix like systems.

THis server is VERY minimalistic.


pro: supports A, AAAA, NS, PTR and MX resource records
contra: it does not support any other resource records ;)

pro: it is very very fast

pro: it is very secure (since it does only implement the most important
     parts of the DNS protocol and even does not implement caching)

contra: it does not support caching

contra: it does not support zone transfers

contra: you need to restart it to force a database reload

pro: the database format is binary what makes reloads VERY fast

pro: it supports load balancing via round robin

pro: it is IPv6-ready

pro: it only needs a C compiler, pthreads and flex/bison to compile and
     no other libraries

pro: it includes its own very fast resource record database and does
     not require external databases
