I've been very happy with editdns.net, although I am using them only for very small domains. pros: -relatively cheap -support all of DNS (a lot of "DNS providers" do not offer, or worse, do not know what an SRV record is) -support dynamic ip, in an elegant/simple fashion too -they can run as a backup DNS, which I don't use but have considered for some of my customers: you can modify your own DNS server config files through scripts for example, version them etc... and then use them as secondary servers. I believe you can still list their servers only in the whois DB, so you don't need big DNS servers. -very reliable so far. cons: -As far as I know there is no way to upload files, or script configuration in any way -no versioning of the configuration -- Yves. http://www.SollerS.ca/ xmpp:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
