- Amount of codeAgain, what should be counted? Should you include rsync? Should you include utility programs like check-namedconf, axfr-get, rbldns, walldns, walldns-conf, etc.?
You need only count the lines of code needed by the daemon/s servicing requests. That is, IMO, bind's only major failing. Too much code, too many little used features (nobody I know needs or wants rndc), and no way to compile without them. If you read Bruce Schneier, as every developer should, you know how important that "Amount of code" is. All I really want is to "configure --minimal && make && make install" and not have to fix ISC's ill thought-out defaults (like /usr/local/etc on Solaris...).
