> Why would I prefer this over NSD?

That was also my question before I read this.

From the article:

> only two usable open-source DNS servers > The decision [to make Knot] was based on the idea that DNS protocol is one of the most important protocols of the Internet, and thus it's stability, security, and reliability would benefit from another DNS server implementation that was written from scratch with full standards compliance in mind.

Seems laudable to me.

Practically speaking, I doubt there's much difference between Knot and NSD. Why not run a few of both? :)
