We've been evaluation their DNS server recently since one of our customers went to DNS, and they already have at least one NT server at each of their locations. Admittedly, we've only tested it with a fairly small database by now. At least, they didn't change the database file format, so you're able to hand-edit the files if it scares you too much to click a thousand buttons in order to globally add yet another MX to all your mail hosts in the zone. The worst of this beast was as is everything in this class of operating system: i had to get up from my chair, and walk over to the console of that machine in order to add a new entry into their DNS database. Fortunately, the machine is only 20 meters away from me. If it were 20 km, i would have been embarrased (since i've been getting used to maintain machines throughout the globe without the need of a car or plane). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
