This server will NEVER serve requests from the internet, but rather provide name resolution for our internal server names, which we expect to change frequently. To this end I am thinking a database backed DNS is the way to go. However I've looked at MyDNS, DNZ Bind but neither of these has had any activity in the past two years. Therefore I wonder what would be a good solution in our case? Is there any supported database backed dns (running under linux of course)? Is there something better and more easy to use option than a database backed dns?

If there are not many why use a DB for this when text files will do just fine. I would be looking for a front end for the text files that is easy to use. __________________ Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time. Linux User #296285 Get Counted

I do know that webmin is not a bad front end for a lot of things including DNS. __________________ Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time. Linux User #296285 Get Counted

You can configure webmin for users to use. __________________ Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time. Linux User #296285 Get Counted
