Wildcarddnsd
Wildcarddnsd/Delphinusdnsd is an authoritative turn-key DNS server. It differs from a general-purpose DNS server such as BIND in reduced functionality. However Wildcarddnsd is only 7 year old with only 7.1 human work-years behind it. Compare this with many human resources of BIND development.
Wildcarddnsd runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, and NetBSD, a port for Windows is in future plans.
