Building a Dynamic DNS Server for Your Enterprise?

Posted by Cliff on from the your-own-mutant-hostnames dept.

Biff98 asks: "We manage thousands of hostnames for field gear with DynDNS.org. It's always been our intention of configuring our own DDNS server and bring it in-house. Given the recent DynDNS outage due to a DDOS attack, resulting in the inability to resolve names for multiple days, there has been 'encouragement' from management to move forward on bringing DDNS in-house. Here's the problem: I can't find any easy-to-use, scalable software to accomplish this task! BIND doesn't scale well, and I don't consider MintDNS an option due to the required platform (Windows Server w/ AD & IIS). Has anyone out there solved this problem before?"

    BIND does indeed not scale well. Down, that is.
