909 *nix dudes: I've got a (managed) DNS question.
For the past few years, I've (for better or worse) just done all of my DNS stuff with Windows (absent a few domains here in there). That's all my companies had, and so I just made do with that. The state of the Windows servers of the latest company I'm working for is/was pitiful. Server hard drives are almost full and they're on the brink of imploding. In addition to doing all the other stuff they're supposed to do (mail, file, print, etc) they were doing DNS. Each time I'd have to do maintenance, all of our clients' websites wouldn't resolve. So I switched to DNSmadeEasy.com. So far, it works ok. For under a $100, I got a "quick fix" and didn't have to worry about websites and mail not resolving. What I'd like to do now is switch to some sort of managed BIND solution -- some incredibly cheap service that would allow me to just edit the BIND config files by hand and then easily import them back in to whatever *nix box I ultimately decide to use for our internal network. Anyone here have any suggestions on a cheap managed service that would allow me to do this? I've had a sdf.lonestar.org account for a while. I suppose that that -- or something like that -- might be the ticket? Something cheap, *nix standard, and easy to import into whatever *nix box I ultimately decide on. Rog
