And just because something runs well in DOS, doesn’t mean it runs well in a Windows environment.

Check out DHCP on Mac server.

@sPiTfIrE-K1LL, please do your research before you talk trash.

Mac OS X is BSD derived, BIND was originally developed on and released for BSD.

"BIND was originally created by four graduate students with CSRG at the University of California, Berkeley and first released with 4.3BSD. Paul Vixie started maintaining it in 1988 while working for DEC."

It's under a BSD-like licence too.

why would you want to run DNS on a Mac, anyways? (Yes I know it’s Apple, not Mac).

Windows is for gaming
Linux is for servers
Mac is for looking pretty
