Speaking of DNS server software...

Can anyone recommend software for an authoritative DNS server where
the open source code is clean and well documented? I have an
anycast-related experiment I'd like to put together and I want to be
able to quickly shoehorn it into existing code.

I looked at the source for ISC Bind but the code complexity is far
beyond anything I'd want to touch for a casual experiment. Please
don't use macros (#defines) to construct your C function
_definitions_. I realize C allows it but it turns your code into a
meta-language that no one else knows.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
