PUBLIC/FREE DNS SERVER (Primary & Secondary)
jam
I have been trying my darndest to find a few public and free DNS servers
that offer Primary & Secondary servers.
I found two so far but lost the link to one of them. Regretfully the one I
lost, for the most of what I recall from reading
the website at the time, seemed to be just what I was looking for. The other
one I found is here:
I know for a fact that there is another one but, I seem to be having
difficulty in locating it. I do remember a few key
things when I visisted this website. One is that the website's main site
colors were Blue with white back ground. There was
a blue header background <framed> and framed to the left was a little blue.
The services that this website offered was complete control over DNS for
Free. And what was so great is that they had
a great GUI interface via the web.
Also, for an example, if you created your first primary for
www.mywebsite.com it would create a default zone files,
mx records, etc...Of course there was plenty of room left to tweek, such as
'alias' for http, smtp etc.....
The same goes for setting up your secondary.
Now, for the http://soa,granitecanyon.com/ website you really have to
start from scratch and manually , weres as
the other website that I'm trying to find is much easier.
If anyone knows were there are more FREE PUBLIC DNS service providers out
there could you please respond
to this post.
Also, if anyone knows of the other website that I kinda of described above,
could you please post the link.
I know its vague and not much to go on, but from surfing the web for a month
on trying to relocate it, I found
that there is not many free public dns servers available, but I could be
wrong.
thanks.

Another options is http://www.powerdns.com. In the standard free deal you can
host 5 domains on our servers and have total control via a web management
interface.
