[gentoo-user] BIND DNS?

[gentoo-user] BIND DNS?

I'm looking to install BIND DNS on one of my server (the first Gentoo box on my network) but haven't been able to locate it in Portage. I tried the obvious searches for "bind", "nameserver", "dns", etc, but still haven't been able to find it.

Does Gentoo have a BIND package and, if so, what's it name?

Thanks in advance.

Uhh, there is a bind package:

maya / # emerge -p bind

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-dns/bind-9.2.5-r6
maya / #   

Although personally I'd be tempted to recommend djbdns, much in the same way 
as I'd advise something like postfix over sendmail.  There's some info on the 
wiki on how to install and configure djbdns, along with links to more info:

bind, in net-dns group. I just did:

emerge bind
emerge bind-tools

Hm... Odd. I was searching the Portage database via gentoo.org and didn't see it. Your emerge string did the trick, though.

I must of just had a brain fart or something. 

Thanks for your help. (Same for the other two responders.)

For what it's worth, I'd second djbdns. I've been using it (and qmail)
for a long time now, and haven't yet run into an issue.

Cheers,

Sean
