I think "better" is in the eye of the beholder, particularly whether or
not the "O" is either small or well-staffed enough to pre-enter
hostnames into the zone files. That said, dnsmasq is a great tool,
especially if you're relying on DDNS.

OTOH, as anyone can see from the named.conf in the base, I believe
rather strongly that a large'ish network should take responsibility for
being authoritative for 1918 stuff (et al) so that they don't go out
over the network. You can still do that with other solutions, but this
is one area where the fact that BIND can do both is a feature.
