Hi Guys
Anybody knows a good and reliable DNS server that is suitable to run on VMware and has a
simple gui for management?
Cheers,
Reza

Any of the BSDs will do (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) and the simple gui
is vi.
It rocks, we use it.

Reza

Came across this thing the other day :

GTK+ bind admin tool, looks quite complete ... I wouldn't even try this,
but you can maybe sshfs your bind dir to your workstation and edit the
files ...
Have a nice week-end.
At least Marc had an Idea.

Anybody tried pfDNS?
I always want to try it, but never get around.
It's an appliance in the style of pfSense but for (IIRC) tinydns.

Marc, if you compare the cost of having a UNIX+vi engineer on salary and
an apprentice who can do the DNS job easily through a GUI, vi does not
rock any more :)
Another factor is, that that apprentice might be a girl :)

You don't need a UNIX engineer to handle simple admin tasks like editing a
zone file but it may help to have one to administrate the machines.

Girls using VI rock.

PS: to my knowledge there is no simple gui for management for good and
reliable DNS server. The closest I know is powerdns that allows to use
various DB backends for the lookups and there are some bad and less bad
web GUIs around the net.

MacOS X Server has a GUI management...
but it doesn't run in a virtual machine unless you run MacOS XServer in VMWare fusion
which runs on a Mac.

Stan! *slap* :)
1) Apprentices are there to learn something, if they don't show a total
desinterest they will find it cool to learn VI and BIND (or
$whatever-other-dns-server).
2) It's your responsibility to turn them into good UNIX engineers! Or at
least learn them something useful. Useful in terms of "they understand how
DNS work" and not in terms of "they can administrate something with a GUI
and as long as the GUI works everything is fine".
3) I'm not a feminist, but how does it matter here if it's a girl or not?
Even if I share the oppinion of girls using VI being sexy ;)
Cheers,
Mario

Just google around for some solutions.
There are plenty of solutions: e.g. powerdns with gui, webmin has some
(ugly) gui, some rootshells (evil) bring DNS guis, ...
Wikipedia has some additional information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_DNS_server_software
probably if you're not familiar with DNS try powerdns.

If you are not familiar with DNS, I would give this task to a company
which is specialized on this.

Hi,
Linux/BSD and Webmin will do the job. I've got also a 30 page step for
step manual
somewhere.
And no, webmin was terrible years ago, but got really mature, at least
the bind part.

How about NicTool?
It's a free open source web interface, best one I have come across so
far and I looked a lot. Only pain is no LDAP but it supports giving
clients access to manage only thier own domains, etc
Supposed to run with tinydns but I had a php script written that pulls
the zone info from MySQL into BIND zonefile format (see the forum).

infoblox tried a few time to sell me just that
http://www.infoblox.com/products/ns1_overview.cfm
in the past I have used namesurfer from http://www.nixusoftware.com/ it was expensive at
the time but did the job quite well.
I would say that if you can live with an "ugly" but functional web interface
sauron http://sauron.jyu.fi/ with bind is quite fine.
