Knot DNS is a high-performance open source DNS server. It implements only authoritative domain name service. Knot DNS is best suited for use on TLD domains but can reliably serve any other zones as well.
Knot DNS benefits from its multi-threaded and mostly lock-free implementation which allows it to scale well on SMP systems and operate non-stop even when adding or removing zones.
