<!-- The purpose of this page is to try and get MaraDNS's page to look
2
better in Dillo, NN4, Links, and other non-CSS browsers while looking
3
good in Firefox, IE5/6, etc.
5
Tested: Safari Webkit nightly 2005/09/29; Firefox 1.0.7; IE 6; IE 5;
6
Netscape 4.8 (yes, it degrades nicely to this browser after making good
7
use of the Ciao hack); Dillo 0.8.5; Links 2.1pre17; Lynx 2.8.5dev.16 (we
8
had to make the HTML not validate to fix a rendering bug here); Opera 8.5;
9
Camino 2005/09/29 nightly; Netscape 3 (non-CSS looks nice here); Netscape
10
1.11 (can't render the real page because this was before the Host: HTTP
11
header; but the non-CSS HTML, including the nested tables, is compatible);
12
Mosaic 2.0 (again, no Host: HTTP header but the non-CSS HTML looks fine
13
except for the "Erre con erre cigarro"--nested tables didn't render);
14
Mosaic 3.0 (no Host: header--you'd think they would have done this
15
by 1997; the HTML looks fine); Opera 5.0 (this is why you see backslashes
16
before a couple of CSS properties); Opera 6.1 (looks fine; I will assume
17
Opera 7 is fine also); IE 4 (ugh; I had to do the @media all CSS hack
18
for this clunker. The hack also hides CSS from MacIE, which my
19
Mac-using buddy assures me isn't used by many Mac users anymore);
20
Chimera 1.70 (an ancient open-source browser from the early
21
Netscape era that no one used; not open-source since it has
22
Mosaic's license; I had to compile this in Slackware 8.1)
24
Notes: This page has td without tr in the top tables because of
25
a Lynx rendering bug. This makes Dillo and w3's validator
26
complain. I care; but it's more important this page looks
27
good in Lynx than having it validate perfectly.
29
This page does not have a doctype because adding one messes
30
up the placment of the "Erre con erre cigarro" trabalengua
31
in the upper right hand corner of the document. Konqueror
32
places this trabalangua as if we were in standards mode; we
33
can not trigger standards mode because this page is designed
34
to look good in IE5 and reasonably good in older legacy

<h2>What is MaraDNS ?</h2>
164
MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an
165
essential internet service. MaraDNS
166
is intended for environments where a DNS server must be secure and where
167
the server must use the absolute minimum number of resources possible.
168
MaraDNS was created in response to issues people had with the
169
DNS servers available in early 2001; and has the following design
172
<li> Security-aware programming. A DNS server needs to be secure.
173
I have a number of security
174
features in the code, including:</li><p>
178
<li> The code uses a special string library which is resistant to buffer
181
<li> The code, if started as root, mandates running as an unprivledged user
182
in a chroot() jail.</li><p>
186
<li> Open-Source. The 1.0 release of the DNS server is public-domain code;
187
the 2.0 release will be released under a
188
<A href=license.html>very liberal BSD-style license.</A>
191
<li> Simplicity. This DNS server has the minimum number of features needed to
192
correctly act as an authoritative and/or recursive name server.</li><p>
