Yeah, djbdns is good but it's not at all designed for embedded use. A few
months ago I was looking at yaku-ns (formerly ENS). I don't think it's
under development because I never got a reply to the patches I submitted,
but it is functional and it is very small. You might want to take a look
at it.

BTW, you wouldn't be able to rewrite djbdns because of dan's licensing.
