May I suggest a DSN server written in PHP? LOL. http://blog.magicaltux.net/2009/02/19/your-own-php-dns-daemon/

Users with accounts on ivan.Harhan.ORG have their mail @ivan.Harhan.ORG, those with accounts on ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG (a different set of users) have their mail @ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG. Harhan is set up exactly the way ARPA Internet sites like UC Berkeley were set up back in the 1980s, with the host being the primary operative entity rather than the domain. Isn't the Internet supposed to be backwards-compatible? > 3: Reverse DNS for 208.221.139.1 - Failed! That's the piece of **** known as BIND. I can't wait to replace it with MSDNS (Michael Sokolov's Domain Name Server), my own DNS server implementation written 100% by me 100% from scratch, running under 4.3BSD-Quasijarus and strictly implementing the letter of RFC 1035.

Finishing MSDNS is one of those gazillion tasks that must be done by me and may not be outsourced. Besides, being part of the core infrastructure it runs on our 4.3BSD-Quasijarus VAXen, not on pee sea hardware, and I would never let anyone else near those even if someone does claim to be old enough to know this stuff.

Nope, x86 architecture hardware is NOT used in our organisation except for things falling on the lower rungs of the ladder of importance like the web/audio/video workstation whose setup started the whole thread.
