I have tried to set up a DNS server in OS X using BIND, but i simply can't get it to work.

Are there any other DNS server apps for Mac OS X, or maybe any apps that makes the setup for BIND easy?

Sincerely,
Tomas Franz�n

Try DJBDNS: http://matt.simerson.net/computing/d...s-macosx.shtml

I use it simply as an internal network dns cache, so all my dns querys are generally less than a second now. It can be more, though, and it's easy to setup.

How did it come to this? Goodbye PowerPC. | sensory output

Oh, the install script that is provided via that link is incorrect, use this one:

Bind is easy, but to make "named" run you have to turn off the mDNSResponder thingy thats installed with OS X. I got my OS X client to run named on startup, it works very well.
