Wow...ok
spoken with true linux/unix bias....
I've been doing DNS on NT for almost 7 years without any issues....
Hey, if you know and like NT, and are comfortable with it...don't

Just get Simple DNS plus... can't get any easier for the $69 you spend
you'll save lots of time over doing it any other way....
Thanks, andyb
