Yes, as long as the DNS service gets launched at boot time. Currently, QuickDNS' startup script handles this (only on Mac OS X). >B) move all my zone data and conf files to say linux or freeBSD, will I >still have a functioning DNS server? Yes. You would need to move at least the following file and directory: /etc/named.conf /var/named/ Note that if you don't put the data directory at /var/named on the new server (because, for example, you want to use the FreeBSD default of /etc/namedb), you'll need to manually edit /etc/named.conf, /var/named/conf/logging, and /var/named/conf/options. Of course, you can also install QuickDNS Remote on both Linux and FreeBSD and continue to use QuickDNS as your management interface. >I guess I am wanting to know how much of a front end is QDNS to DNS >management, or is there more to it? QuickDNS is now a management system for DNS servers, and no longer the DNS service itself. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy
