I switched back to DBJDNS from MaraDNS. The first reason is I know Dan Bernstein writes good solid and very secure code. The other reason is it is just easier to use. DJBDNS's config files do not resemble zone files (which MaraDNS's do) and that makes me very happy. Hopefully I managed to do this switch properly and DNS service wasn't / won't be interrupted.

Rebuilt website and webserver over the weekend. Site is more machine and bandwidth friendly. Limited dynamic content. Server is now K62/550 with 512M ram and running Debian 3.0.

Investigated secondary nameserver service secondary.org. It's really simple to use and works quite well. Not sure what the update interval is. Still waiting for it to pull over the last batch of changes from ns1.bluesine.com.

Also added a backup MX server for bluesine.com which is the domain handling most of my mail and quite a few others mail. This was really simple to do using Qmail. Basically Kyle added bluesine.com to his rcpthosts and I add his machine as the backup in my DNS records.
