unxsBind does not support dynamic DNS updates per se, but the BIND system that it configures can. The template table and configuration tables among others can be extended to support RFC-2136 configuration sections if you need them. Which brings us to what may be considered a major design philosophy difference with other DNS systems: unxsBind is not BIND with an SQL (or other db) backend. Then... Your (complex as you want) DNS system is configured (statically) and managed by unxsBind. You can remove unxsBind and the currently configured BIND services will continue to run. > > Also, what do the lowercase letters (t, c, u, etc.) that > prefix many of the menus and links in iDNS stand for?

The plain but very fast and clean unxsBind web app backend is meant for developers to code interfaces for, therefore our standard variable naming conventions are used throughout. (microRef: t for table, i for int, u for unsigned int, c for char or string, etc.) You should check out one of the provided interfaces like idnsAdmin that has normal field names but they are linked to the tGlossary (glossary table as in the actual SQL schema) > > > > Thanks, Thank you for your questions, it will prod us to actually build some FAQs and documentation some day ;) Cheers!
