It has proxies for a full suite of servers as well as the mini DNS but is quite easy to set up. Be aware however that there is currently an incompatability with IE4 so you have to choose one or the other. BIND sources are from Berkeley so I guess are "freeware"; the NT port has been adapted / packaged as a service by Software.Com and is also free and (astoundingly) even has limited email support. Although not difficult to install, it does really need a bit of reading around to get zone authorities etc right. Probably the safest is to set it up as a caching only server taking information on demand from your ISP; I don't think the cached data survives a re-boot, so DNS really is meant for machines that are left running. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
