What I think is missing is the ability to tell >QDNS to just automatically act as secondary to a particular primary server, >i.e: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your master, always copy every domain >xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has". Wouldn't that be godsend (or is it just me)? Both of these features (automatic file names for secondary domains and synchronization of domain lists between primary and secondary QuickDNS servers) would ease the jobs of DNS administrators. I've put them on our feature request list and they will be evaluated for the next major release of QuickDNS Pro.
