I doubt the solution is to run your own name servers - especially for just 60 domains. What are the domains for? If they are mostly parked does he actually need them? Or were they purchased out of some ill founded ideas? I'd probably just move them all over to whichever of the current providers has the most clue, and most sensible interface for management. Thus reducing the passwords to one. Providing DNS isn't hard, but it does require things like an off network server to do it right - all easy - but keeping it all together is a lot of work considering it is something readily outsourced (with the possible exception of domains internal to your own network). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
