Hi!

Depends on what you mean by full-fledged. The --auth-zone support should 
be enough for simple things. Of course running BIND9 provides you much 
more features with better performance under heavy load, but also with 
much higher resources used. Depends on what are your use cases. For 
simple static zone it should work well enough.

Of course it is somehow limited. It can serve typical records, define 
SOA values, even define secondary servers allowed to AXFR. On demand 
dynamic updates are *not* supported. It can work together with DHCP, but 
depends a lot what you are trying to accomplish. Since that were not 
shared, it depends.

I doubt you can use --auth-zone without recursive cache part, if that is 
what you were asking.

Cheers,
Petr
