  Keep in mind that forcing nix down the throats of doze people rarely
turns out well, and sometimes harms the reputation of nix.  And as far
as performance goes, cost of administration almost always far exceeds
any nominal performance gain.  You may be on the wrong track.

  Of course, Windows != MS-DNS.  BIND is available for doze, as are
third-party DNS servers.  And there are non-BIND servers available for
nix, and there are pretty GUI front-ends for BIND.

  Is the real issue managing BIND, or is the real issue that everybody
there hates nix, and BIND management is just the latest excuse to get
rid of nix?
