DNS Watcher
$26.95 - SB-Software

DNS Watcher is a program designed to monitor and query DNS servers. DNS Watcher is mainly intended for use by webmasters and website operators to keep watch on their DNS entries and make sure the name servers are responding correctly. DNS Watcher allows you to enter a list of server names and host names, and DNS Watcher will query those servers periodically to make sure the servers are providing the correct results. DNS Watcher also includes an interactive query tool, similar to the unix/linux "nslookup" and "dig" commands, but with a windows GUI interface.

MultiDNS
$8 - GlobeSoft

Globesoft MultiDNS forwards DNS resolution requests to a list of secondary DNS servers, one by one, until the request successfully has been carried out and the name has been resolved. If any of the secondary DNS servers respond, but fail to resolve the name, then Globesoft MultiDNS proceeds with the next server in the list.
The list of secondary DNS servers would be the list of DNS servers normally found in the adapter configuration. However, when using Globesoft MultiDNS, the adapter must be configured to use only the local DNS server, provided by Globesoft MultiDNS, and the DNS server list must be transferred to the configuration section of Globesoft MultiDNS.
MultiDNS can be installed on a laptop or on a server.

Typical scenarios where MultiDNS is used:

On end user laptops in conjunction with remote VPN, thus enabling remote users to access computers/servers on both networks by name

On servers or end user laptops that need to access multiple NAT segments that are connected via VPN or other private links. For example multiple disjoint AD structures.

EzDNS publishes and/or e-mails your PC's local LAN IP and global WAN IP address, currently running processes and connection information to a remote web page or text file that is customizable. EzDNS is ideal for people with cable or DSL Internet providers who usually change your IP address on a daily or weekly basis. EzDNS can make publishing the address of your web, FTP, or game server a breeze. Many IP Posters only post your local IP address which is useless for PCs that use NAT or gateways.

DNS2Go allows you to name your space. It's the perfect service for those seeking to leverage the true potential of their computer and Internet connection. Host your own website. Host an FTP server so that you can exchange files with family and friends. Host your own email server and provide everyone in your family with a highly personalized email address.

DNS2Go is extremely easy to use; you can sign up for a DNS2Go domain (such as yourname.dns2go.com), or you can register your own top-level domain (such as yourname.com). If you decide to use a DNS2Go domain, you'll have no less than twenty-five sub-domain options to choose from.

The DNS2Go client software is installed on the computer with which you want to associate your domain name. The software always knows your computer's current IP address, and it quietly and automatically notifies the DNS2Go service whenever that IP address changes. The DNS2Go service then modifies the DNS zone records associated with your domain, and the change takes effect almost immediately. The bottom line is that anyone typing your domain name into a web browser or other client software will be led to your current IP address. No matter how often it changes.

Feature List: Dynamic IP Resolution, Multiple Domain Support, Custom DNS records, Custom MX records, HTTP Port Relay, Online Redirection, Offline Redirection, Event Logging, Runs as a Service, Gateway Extensions, Time Sync, Scheduler, Socks 5 Support, Multiple Internet Connection Detection Methods, Quick Start Guide, Wildcarding and more.

Simple DNS Plus .NET API
$0 - NeoKobe

The API consists of two classes "sdnsNetAPI" and "zone". The sdnsNetAPI class contains all needed functions to interact with Simple DNS Plus. The zone class is just a definition for a dns zone. To create a new zone called "mynewdomain.com" on your primary and your secondary (if available) nameservers, just use the zone constructor and provide the zone information, i.e:

Dim sdpApi As New sdnsNetAPI("ns.yournameserver.com", "yourPassword")
Dim myZone As New zone

myZone.PrimaryNS = "ns.yournameserver.com"
myZone.SecondaryNS = "ns2.yournameserver.com"
myZone.DomainName = "mynewdomain.com"
myZone.WebserverIP = "123.123.123.123"

sdpApi.updatePrimaryZone(myZone)
