* This is the modus mailing list * Depending on how many queries you service, you might consider a DNSOne from infoblox.. They are a little pricey (~$9k+$1.5k/yr) but it is a 1U hardened *nix box running BIND 9. They are very reliable and have a hot-standby port which allows you to stack 2 of them for very solid DNS. I handle about 600k queries per hour or so, which doesn't seem to affect them at all, plus you can add additional users and give them permissions to an individual domain to let users fiddle with their own DNS.

IMHO it would be best for you to consider using a *nix box and BIND. For what it is worth you would need far less hardware for a *nix DNS server. I have actually seen a Pentium 133Mhz with 256Mb RAM handle approx. 30,000 domains taking a significant number of queries per second (the domain took over 20,000,000 web hits a day! Approx. 1.5 million visitors per day!). --- A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. 'Hear that?' you say: That's dynamite, baby.

We have some old DNS servers we need to upgrade and we are going to use 2003 DNS and I would like to know what pitfalls to watch out for.
