I have been waiting for secondary IP support on MacOS Classic for quite
a while, but have given up all hope since it was not included in the 3.X
update of QDNS.
Upgrading to OSX is very easy to say, but has a lot of consequences:
- migrating to the first version of a new OS is not really a good
idea (just my opinion)
- running a production server on an OS you do not yet know all
details about
- running OSX means that you have to use at least a G3 as a DNS server
which is overload for a lightly loaded DNS server
I still think it's strange that QDNS Classic still can not do it.
Even (a great) FREE product like SIMS supports it, Web* does, Summary does,
all my servers support it, except one... QDNS...
Oh, well, I've learned to live with it...
