DNS Appliance

[Frank Bulk]

I've had a rough time with BlueCat's Adonis product on the DHCP side of
things.  There are feature and stability gaps that take months and years to
resolve.  Their releases are always just a few weeks or months away, but
take longer to materialize.  I've been waiting over a year for code that
they can recommend to me that resolves an HA issue.

That said, things have been relatively stable and so I'm grateful for that.

Our experience with blue(s)cat was not a good one.

That product would sporadically lose all of our zones.
Vendor blamed us (so did our angry customers).

Thing was, no one was in the office. We came into work one morning to phones
ringing -- no DNS.
DNS because master config was empty. FTW?

Might be an okay product now if you need an applicance to manage 10 zones by
one person.

To be fair to the vendor, this was a few years ago. Things may have improved
by now (?)

For a commercial appliance Bluecat Networks makes a good product. If
commercial is not a requirement and djbdbs is enough, have a look at pfSense
who make an excellent open source firewall appliance and now have a DNS
appliance that is available.
