If you've got the budget then you should check out the Adonis DNS server from BlueCat Networks. The Adonis is hands-down the best DNS server on the planet. It offers high-availability, redundancy, high-security data transfers, etc. It has a military-style flash disk option so that there is no moving parts that will fail (especially hard drives these days), etc. Kick-ass BIND support!!
Disclaimer: I used to work there and parted ways rather involuntarily. However, the Adonis DNS is one mean-ass, rock-solid piece of work. I strongly recommend it.

You have no clue what you're talking about. I was introduced to QNX back in high school in 1986. It was good then and it's even better now. Lucky me, my high school math/compsci teacher was a grad of UWaterloo (Masters degree now too from what I hear) who knew his shit. QNX was my first intro to programming.
"There are three popular and accepted definitions of an addict. The first is that they pursue their habit to the point where it has a strong negative impact on the rest of their life. The second is that if the person tries, in all earnestness, to give up the activity and finds themselves unable, they are an addict. The third is that they experience significant and measurable withdrawal symptoms when denied the substance or activity."

I'm getting my information from sources like eWeek, CIO Insight, and Baseline (to mention a few). Just read the last 3-6 months of publications. You'll see what I mean. Their strategy is confusing and inconsistent. As for a local Sun reseller, try finding one willing to expend 6 months (+) worth of effort to nail down a deal. Impossible.
As an outsider to the Sun world, IMHO, Sun is doing a really crappy job of positioning itself against Linux, and low-end, Intel-bred Linux system/servers. Every 2 or 3 weeks I see in the papers "Sun has Linux", "Sun has an Intel box", "Sun no longer has Linux", "Sun has Solaris for Intel", "No Wait They Don't Anymore", "No Wait Again They Do"...
Want to hear something funny? I'm the CIO/CTO for my company. I define the technology standards, identify what we will support, and decide on what our forward-going strategy will be. I was looking at Solaris on the Intel platform. We're a 99% Microsoft/Intel shop and I'm honestly looking for alternatives. I don't have Linux technical experts on staff, so I figured a company like Sun who has a solid O/S platform on an architecture that we know (Intel) would perhaps make a good investment. Then Solaris for Intel disappeared. Okay I thought to myself, that's a little strange since they do have StarOffice for Intel platforms. Later Sun announced a Linux strategy, and I figured okay, these guys are clearly identifying the direction that the market is moving in and are in the catch-up phase (just like Microsoft did when Netscape blind-sided them). Yet a bit later, Solaris for Intel made a reappearance. Now Sun has yanked their own SunOS Linux flavour.
As a CIO/CTO for a small company, you know what I've come to realize. Sun has no idea what they're doing or where they are going. At least Microsoft knows where they are going although they sure are pissing off a lot of people trying to go there. Anyways, the long and short of it is this: I've decided that I can't continue to evaluate a company and their product(s) since I don't even know what they're going to do in the future. My advice to Sun? Get off the fence and move in a direction. Any direction. Just get off the fence before you slice your balls.

Hmmm...your "understanding of copyright" runs in direct opposition to mine. My understanding is that Copyright is a legally-defined right granted to individuals or companies under specifically defined circumstances. It has rules. Now, if a person chooses to basically give something away for free, with no terms of use or requirements for disclosure, then is it truly a copyright-protected piece of work? No. It's not. Since it fails the standard tests of a copyright-protected piece of work, the forwarding or reading of it is not any violation of law, expect perhaps a violation of moral or ethical sense.
These idiots shouldn't be allowed to "band together". It's their stupid group-mentality and deranged attack on their customers that is causing their problems. When all the big players like this join forces, that's illegal collusion under the Sherman Act (again, IMHO).
