YADIFA /jɑːˈdiːfɑː/ is an acronym and stands for Yet Another DNS Implementation For All.
YADIFA[2] is a lightweight authoritative Name Server, written in C (programming language), with DNSSEC capabilities. Developed by the passionate people behind the .eu top-level domain, YADIFA has been built from scratch to face today’s DNS challenges, with no compromise on security, speed and stability, to offer a better and safer Internet experience.
YADIFA has a simple configuration syntax and can handle more queries per second while maintaining one of the lowest memory footprints in the industry.
YADIFA has one of the fastest zone file load times ever recorded on a name server.
