SkDNS ActiveX Control

SkDNS ActiveX Control is a DNS (Domain Name Service) ActiveX control that can be used for network diagnosing, troubleshooting, and monitoring.
The Magneto Software DNS (Domain Name Service) ActiveX Control (SkDNS.OCX) allows developers to integrate the DNS protocol message sending capability into their applications.
It can be used from any 32-bit Windows development environment, including Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Delphi.
SkDNS ActiveX Control is compliant with RFC 1034 and RFC 1035.
It can retrieve information about the host/domain by performing a general DNS lookup, or to list addresses in specified domain by performing an AFXR (special zone transfer) lookup.

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.
