is djbdns powerful enough to handle more than 500 domains ? many people
told me that djbdns is more secure than Bind, is it true ? I've installed
djbdns on my development server but don't have courage to install it on my
production server, my consideration is the stability, reliability and
security...

I recommend you seriously consider using djbdns from
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html.

If you need help setting it up, E-mail me -- its pretty easy and for a
small setup, you'll end up editing one line per DNS entry in a text file.
