interested in taking a look. thanks. I am currently running MS DNS but have no reason why I need to be. I'm a penniless bum so I need to keep it cheap though.
The DNS entries I am looking to maintain are going to be about as simple as they can be. I'm not neccessarily interested in having a toolkit for clients to manage their DNS, but rather have canned DNS entries for the domains ready to be added when a domain is registered. Specifically in fuzzy detail. I want to build a community site network, open source and freely distributed. at the core will be a hosting service that is built from the same engine that is freely distributed. I intend to offer a free domain service for the community sites that subscribe to my hosting service (hosting nominally priced to cover cost) - I am trying to get alive.ca as the free domain (ie www.hamilton.alive.ca) but also support domain registrations integrated in the administration toolkit if they want to get their own name. I plan to plugin subscription services like everyone.net into the admin toolkit for the community site network. (although I should set up my own email services right Howie?) so if I understand what I want to do correctly, the DNS management can be handled with a very simple user interface. ie turn Service on - turn service off. (and then on the backend we determine what the entries are going to be). I wish I had a little extra time these days.

I know of acompany that created a typical boilerplate that they use for client hosting and they use CF to fill in the proper values. One other thing - if you're using Bind on Windows then the service needs to be restarted for the changes to take affect. We have a freeware service control cfx if you need it.
