      Hey guys, just curious, which one do you prefer? Looking to have pfsense be a DNS server on my LAN and trying to figure out if either option is easier to manage or better than the other in some way. Opinions?

        You do know there also a BIND package now ;)

        Question for you - how many hosts on your lan.. Are you talking a handful or 1000's

        What do you expect your dns to do for you other than look up google.com and your hosts?
