Actually: we are in a similar situation. We're currently running bind9, <br>
and were interested in to switching to NSD for the authorative dns <br>
services, but it seems that you have to compile newer releases (with <br>
security fixes etc) yourself, or there is a repo somewhere we're missing?<br>
<br>
We're on debian 10. It recommended to simply install the NSD that debian <br>
comes with, and rely on debian for the security fixes?<br>
