    Anand,
    
    Sorry to be obtuse, and of course, nothing on the internet needs a reason.
    
    But inquiring minds want to know. WHY are you inventing yet another
    nameserver when we have so many fine ones available already? 
    
As far as I understood he wanted something which would only provide AXFR,
not a full blown server.
