an iSeries.

Except for the fact the iSeries runs BIND too. Bind 8 in fact so it's a bit behind the *nix world. I'm not saying don't do it by any means because I do it frequently. For many customers it's the internal only DNS but for some it's on-line-live. We have not had any issues with them being compromised or attacked from the outside.
