Hi,
I've used MetaIP DNS and I've evaluated a few others. I'm now using
Simple DNS Plus http://www.jhsoft.com
It will cost you $69 per server. It is very easy to administer zone
files, it has great logging features, including one that lets you watch
the log realtime.. And the zone transfers to secondary servers are
completely automatic as long as the secondary server is also running
Simple DNS
Great product. No, I don't make anything if you buy it.. ;-)
Thanks, andyb
