I didn't give it much thought before I typed it. I realize from a software company point of view, and a programmer's point of view, that statement carries some clout, and could imply a fair amount of negativism. I did not intend that. I use QDNS Pro for classic, because I believe it's a solid, reliable product. ( I do not feel the same way about BIND ) Men and Mice has always demonstrated the quick and relentless squishing of bugs as soon as they're found. Compared to a lot of other software, I must say that QDNS Pro has been fairly bug free since I started using it in the version 1 days, and I've always been able to use it in a production ISP environment, where my ISP's reputation rests just as much on the reliability of my DNS servers as the other servers I run. -Jerry
