If I'm going to do that, then why use Apple hardware for that task.
I can get HP 1U servers that are, in EVERY way, the equal of Xserves for
*half* the price. I can, on those servers, with full support from HP mind
you, run a utility OS that will be patched MONTHS ahead of Mac OS X for
stuff like this.
Why then, should I spend 2x the $$ on Apple gear when it's becoming obvious
that Apple is simply not a good choice for certain tasks, like public-facing
DNS?
What's worse, a copout, or wasting company money when there are better
choices?
