Primary DNS for unixag-kl.fh-kl.de is a Sun SPARCstation 1 running
NetBSD. It does this job for at least six years now. I see no need to
change anything beside the occasional OS update for security reasons.

My home ftp server is still a VAXstation 3100, it performs the task very
well, and requires very little intervention. I'm considering running a
webserver on either that machine, or a similar one (my site is low traffic).
The ftp machine runs VMS7.3 under a hobbyist license.
