Whatever OS you're running it won't take you too much; either BIND or the Win DNS will just go up fine and by default work as recursive resolvers w/o any forwarder (just using root-hints) then btw you may play some tricks, like setting up conditional forwarding for "certain zones" ... but that may come at a later time :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test
