List of DNS server software

It's been quite a long time I'm not following the recent development in dns scene, especially on the server software itself. In the past, I did try setting up my own BIND installation just to understand how all these things work.

I tweet reminded me back:-

Best #PowerDNS ni, siap http api. Auto SOA increment. #thorbaek

So what else dns server software we have these days other than BIND 9 ?

• PowerDNS (as in tweet above).
• CoreDNS - now also a server type plugin of Caddy. It's a successor of SkyDNS.
• SkyDNS - SkyDNS is a distributed service for announcement and discovery of services built on top of etcd.
• Knot
• NSD
