I am in the process of reseaching a DNS solution for my company. Currently we have our domain hosted and it has been nothing but problems since day 1. I have reseached setting up my own Bind server and that seems like WAY too much administration for this day and age. There are serveral DNS appliances out there, as well as DNS software. I was wondering if anyone could offer thier opinion on a good, easily managable DNS solution. I have a windows 2000 server that handles my Interal DHCP and DNS with active directory. This works great. The problem I have is with my web accesible host, email, and reverse DNS.

Please help.

I'm not too sure how much $$$ you have but BlueCat Networks have a great appliance that is simple to use and offers a lot of great features. Major award winner too. Check it out at least:

Windows 2000 server will work just fine too for small organizations.

Probably the easiest solution would be to use a DNS service like easydns.com or dyndns.org
The static DNS service from dyndns for example is free, and will direct all queries to your IP address. By using a DNS service you can then just concentrate on hosting your own web site instead of both web site and DNS
