[OT] Email forwarding
Hello Friday Folks, For more than 10 years I've had some DNS records maintained by DynDns. Some are free and some are $30/year because they later removed the free service. I just received an email from their sales to tell me that if I want MX wildcard forwarding of email from my five domains it will cost $49.95 per domain per year. Pardon me, but isn't that a lot for such a piddling little facility?! Is anyone here using someone else for DNS that has a better and more reasonable deal? Searches reveal some companies that do hosting and forwarding for free (like https://www.namecheap.com/https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/546), but I find that hard to believe and would rather stick to someone reputable for a modest cost.

I've had a good run with www.dnsmadeeasy.com http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com . For those sorts of dollars, they let me host about 50 domains and I've never had the slightest issue with them over many years.

www.noip.com may do what you want - Support for up to 5 MX Records MX records are responsible for making email delivery possible. Most DNS providers allow the use of one MX record. This is great if email is not important. With one MX record and a mail server outage, chances are emails to your domain will bounce. With multiple MX records you can specify up to 5 alternate mail servers that can receive email for your domain. Take a look at our Backup MX service if you are in need of another backup mail spool From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Friday, 29 November 2013 9:22 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: [OT] Email forwarding Hello Friday Folks, For more than 10 years I've had some DNS records maintained by DynDns.

I am using Amazon Route 53 for DNS. I don't use anything else Amazon but find the DNS only costs a couple of dollars a month for about 10 domains. It seems pretty reliable, never had any downtime since I changed over from ZoneEdit which was having outages.

Configuration Tool
No sure, if it a common task but is there any open source code or tools to be able to create a configuration file. I have my own library to read/write a applicayion configuration file but would love to have an interface where I could change its settings. I know MS Enterprise Library has a configuration tool for its settings, would like a generic tool that I could build into my software. mmm..maybe I will have to create one..but how do other manage application settings?
