djbdns contains multiple tiny servers that do different things.  It’s culturally different to BIND, which is by contrast monolithic.

‘dnscache’ is recursive, while ‘tinydns’ is authoritative.  If you want to do both things, run both servers.

If you’re paranoid about security, it really is hard to go past djbdns, although do consider using dbndns instead which actually supports IPv6.  (Gosh, is it the 21st century _already_? My how time flies.)\
