I'll second for SimpleDNS Plus. I've got it running on 4 servers here. Incredibly easy to setup and works like a charm. I have had ZERO issues with it in the 4 years I've been running it. Worth looking into.

How do you pick a good DNS server? I had one from Verio that I've used for the last couple years 161.58.158.113 Ipswitch Techs had me try one of there's while we were testing all the various problems. Worked well with theirs so I assumed that mine was not too good... I called Verio where my servers are hosted and they could not tell me much information about the DNS IP I posted above. They suggested that because it was a cache DNS server it looks like it may not always be available and maybe retired soon... Quite frankly I think the Gal knew less than I did about the server... None the less I tracerouted to the primary dns servers (ns1 and ns2 .DN.net) and used these in the SMTP area of iMail 8.21 These worked poorly and allowed my queue to grow to over 100 emails and stay at that point . Restarting the SMTP server would clear half of them but then back to the same state... People started calling because there were errors such as "553 Requested action not taken: Relaying not permitted" or "553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)"... I switched back to the IP above and it immediately cleared the cache and now hovers around 7 or 8 emails pending. Why does one DNS server IP work better than others? 207.153.206.126 and 161.58.158.45 (bound to ns1 and 2 as mentioned above) failed to perform worth while. You would think a company like Verio would have great DNS servers? Am I missing something? I'm thinking of moving to Rackspace at the end of the month and hope they can help.
