Hi Guru's ,
Before I summarize I'd like to apologize to Jay L. again if I offended him
in any way ( I got the [SUMMARY] right this time ... ).
As for my question here are my conclusions .
1. combining dns and NIS is like giving a hacker to entry points on the same
machine . both services are easy to hack and it is not recommended to put
them both on the same machine . -> this is true for internal dns and a HUGE
no no for external ones ( internal - inside the LAN ,external - behind the
firewall ).
2.those who said dns NIS is o.k. in most cases were running both the master
NIS and dns server on the same host mainly because of convenience .
My Decision
I will set up the dns as a stand alone machine .
