Yes, Mitch Microsoft's is not bad, but it is not fully RFC compliant. Ask
them and they will confirm on several issues that they have problems. If
you are going to provide both primary and secondary with Microsoft, do not
plan on scalling the product you should be ok. If you want a program that
will scale, fully RFC compliant, supporting all features of v8.1.1, then
use Bind or if you want support then get Metainfo. It's affordable and
that is what is important. FREE usually does not mean GOOD. Just another
two cents....
