QIP?

[Smith, William E. (Bill), Jr.]

We use QIP here and have been using it for a couple years now.  Product is
good, robust, and reliable in my opinion.  AS for comparisons to BIND, that
is somewhat hard to do considering QIP can provide more than just DNS
service such as DHCP, etc.  It's more appropriately labeled an IP management
tool rather than a DNS server.  That said though, their DNS server is based
on BIND.  They are behind ISC in that they have yet to release a BIND 9
support DNS server but that is forthcoming.

Our DNS was moved from BIND to a product referred to as "QIP". A websearch
yields Lucent's VitalQIP as a DNS, DHCP, etc. and much hyperbole from the
vendor.  

What is the opinion of the sages in this ng of this product?  How 
does it compare with BIND?

thanks,
