Wow nictool. I didn't know it was still developed AND open source... Isn't that made buy the dajoba guys. What happened to them. I used to love the perl software they wrote. It is too bad that they let their website just kinda die out. I tried to email Joseph a while back but there is no dajoba domain. Sorry for the off topicness...
Yeah, you might check out the "history" part of nictool.com. Matt Simerson and the Interland crew added a lot of stuff while NicTool was slowly winding down active development... eventually, after Matt left Interland, he got permission to open source NicTool and continue development. I have not played much with it yet, but it's a very scalable tool, more than most people even need. But it's the most robust DNS management tool I'm aware of in the open source world.
VegaDNS was actually commissioned well *before* NicTool was open sourced and (upon getting a demo account from Matt at that time) I even based some its structure on NicTool. In fact, at that time you couldn't even *buy* a license for NicTool for some reason. So, VegaDNS was born since nothing else was available for djbdns except dnsadmin, which did not fit my needs.
