You can read about configuring a chrooted BIND here:

If you're a novice you might be tempted by TinyDNS. It's easier to work with.
However, you'll probably find that once you're up to speed it won't do half the things you want it to. BIND isn't particularly difficult, but more so than TinyDNS.
Might aswell use the better, more powerful, proven product from the outset than have to change at a later date.

Hi thanks for the answers,
Well I use BIND since day one, my opinion is basicly like DNS=BIND. But sometimes I bump into admins using TinyDNS at BIG ISP's, I just don't know how to convince them. And currently its a BIND vs TinyDNS situation!
So I want to hear more arguments, thank you.

Octalys: so I guess your question is other than the one you asked already.
because that question was answered.
What is your real question here?
I wonder evangineerX is answering something you seemed to be looking for

* Does not, and author's code will not, support - DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, NOTIFY, EDNS0, IPv6
* Design is focussed on "fixing" security issues in Bind-8 and earlier - Bind 9 fixes these anyway
* Seems to consistently drop a small percentage of queries (Knowles's report)
* No good conversion tools from Bind (might be now, needs checking)
* Slow. Anecdotal reports of high speed unproven. Testing by the author of this paper shows low performance (Knowle's report)
I use bind with dhcpd in order to have dynamic dns internally, and use dns-sec to have many dynamic dns domains out there.
I would never switch to tinydns.
