Try http://www.ns-one.net/     they have good prices and seem
reliable.

NJK> I notice Paul already replied, but though I'd add some more.

NJK> Using a RaQ2/3 for DNS alone is a pretty expensive nameserving solution.
NJK> Your best bet is to find an old 486, 32Mb RAM and a >1gb harddisk and a copy
NJK> of RedHat 6.2 (http://www.cheapbytes.com - $1.50 approx) and you're all set!

NJK> No I'm not exageratting. 486 will run DNS just fine. Upto a thousand sites
NJK> or so atleast. At the worst you might have to stick in a bit more RAM
NJK> (unlikely!) Welcome to the world of Linux :-)

NJK> I'm guessing you WANT to use the GUI of the RaQ, but it's a lot more
NJK> configurable (and FASTER once you have more than about 20 domains!) to just
NJK> get a "Bind" book (Jeff - This is your queue to point out that O'Reilly
NJK> book!) and take a quick look. It's pretty simplistic to do the normal stuff
NJK> which I'd imagine is what you want.

NJK> I am doing some research for my company. We are considering using the RaQ 2
NJK> or 3 as our Primary and Secondary Name servers. Along with our Customer's
NJK> DNS servers. But I have a few questions that I can't seem to find on the
NJK> website. I hope someone out there can help me.

NJK> *Note they will only be doing DNS, no web or mail.

NJK> 1. Can either of these machines be used as a NS server?
NJK> 2. Which model is recommended and why?
NJK> 3. How many DNS requests can one handle with out getting lagged?
NJK> 4. Average machine takes up how much of the internal harddrive?

NJK> Model I am looking at is the Base RaQ2 machine 16mb of Ram.

NJK> Any comments? Open for suggestions.
