DNS, I would second the FreeBSD suggestion but I lean towards djbdns.
The config syntax is terse, yes. Once you learn it, however, there's a
lot more information per line than BIND will ever be able to achieve.
This means less cross-referencing, which is especially important in an
environment with thousands of dynamically-generated records.
As I had a deadline before this weekend, I downloaded Centos, openSuse, and Ubuntu server. I ended up using Ubuntu because:
1. I couldn't get the openSuse download to complete.
2. CentOS downloaded fine, but the install script crashed 3x in a row during package selection.
3. I am familiar with Ununtu and aptitude.
I will implement the the ubuntu server, but I'm going to try to do the other one with FreeBSD as suggested.
Thanks to all
