But one comment if I may, please ... DNS has had a lot of money put into it and it works very well in MS. Personally, I accept, and am sure others do too, that good software may not be gnu or free and so this is one item I wish I could buy for ubuntu (linux). Please excuse me saying this as I know many hate 'unnecessary' emails. But I have read hundreds of posts and constantly hear the mantra 'it must be free' which I think is a bit narrow minded with some software development.
