Not at the moment, but the OpenBOX/POSSR Open Source Domain Registry
will have support for that eventually. I've got the initial code,
which only does delegation to nameservers, functional and working on a
live site. I plan to add IP DNS service and URL Redirection to it
rather quickly now.
It's written in Perl and uses the DBI module and MySQL extensively.
As for NT support, I have absolutely no intention of directly
supporting NT, but I'm sure others will contribute any modifications
for a NT working version when it is available for download.
I have it setup for a third level domain registry right now, and the
company who partially funded its development is planning on using it
for a Top level domain registry (non-ICANN root server network). I
suppose one could just extract the URL redirection code from this and
use it standalone, but again, someone else will have to do that, as I
have no intention of directly support just the URL redirection as a
standalone app. For anyone with any knowledge of Perl and DBI, doing
this would not be a problem.
The code is not available for distribution yet. It will be (We are
talking days and hours, not weeks or months) very soon. We are still
working on the licensing part, weighing GPL vs BSD or Apache style.
Feel free to contact me if you want a heads up when it is released. I
anxiously await people assisting with this.
It really is not hard to learn Perl and DBI and SQL syntax.
I recommend the books at http://www.learnperl.org/
