DNS server choice: Windows DNS vs Linux BIND

I'd like to get some opnions on choosing DNS server: Windows DNS vs Linux BIND comparrsion: 1) managment, easy of use 2) Security 3) features 4) peformance 5) ?? I personally prefer Windows DNS server for management, it supports GUI and command line. But I am not sure about security...

NAME

       Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse - Perform recursive dns lookups

SYNOPSIS

	 use Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse;
	 my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse->new;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a sub class of Net::DNS::Resolver. So the methods for Net::DNS::Resolver still work for this module as well.  There are just
       a couple methods added:

   hints
       Initialize the hint servers.  Recursive queries need a starting name server to work off of. This method takes a list of IP addresses to use
       as the starting servers.  These name servers should be authoritative for the root (.) zone.

	 $res->hints(@ips);

       If no hints are passed, the default nameserver is asked for the hints.  Normally these IPs can be obtained from the following location:

	 ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root

   recursion_callback
       This method is takes a code reference, which is then invoked each time a packet is received during the recursive lookup.  For example to
       emulate dig's "+trace" function:

	$res->recursion_callback(sub {
	    my $packet = shift;

	    $_->print for $packet->additional;

	    printf(";; Received %d bytes from %s

",
		$packet->answersize,
		$packet->answerfrom
	    );
	});

   query_dorecursion
       This method is much like the normal query() method except it disables the recurse flag in the packet and explicitly performs the recursion.

	 $packet = $res->query_dorecursion( "www.netscape.com.", "A");

IPv6 transport
       If the appropriate IPv6 libraries are installed the recursive resolver will randomly choose between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses of the
       nameservers it encounters during recursion.

       If you want to force IPv4 transport use the force_v4() method. Also see the IPv6 transport notes in the Net::DNS::Resolver documentation.
