[Pdns-users] FreeBSD port?

[Charles Sprickman]

Hello,

Just checking in - I've been running your port (not in production yet)
for a few weeks now with no major surprises that are not explained by my
lack of PDNS experience or by using features that are not explicitly
ready in 3.0.

Is there any other feedback you'd like from me?  I don't think it could
hurt at this point to officially submit this port as "powerdns-devel".

Thanks,

Charles
