Can you believe in reliable&secure Sendmail or BIND? I can't, that's why I use DjbDNS and Qmail... And looking for Apache replacement.

Ah, you're one of those people. Can I say it? Sure I can. I've been running both Sendmail and BIND on many systems, for over 10+ years, with tens of thousands of users and I sleep just fine. Never had a reliablity problem or a security problem.

Worrying about security and reliablity are good things, don't get me wrong. Worrying about them TOO MUCH, at the expense of everything else is like only drinking pure distilled water and eating brown rice because anything else MIGHT cause cancer. You can do it, but please stop bitching because everyone else doesn't wear the same tin foil hat you are wearing.
