One big thing that this DDNS article left out about Novell. NetWare 5 and NDS has its own DDNS running right now and it is far more efficient than any other model of DNS deployment. The article completely failed to mention that. With NDS, Novell's DDNS deployment does not need technical processes between a Primary and Secondary DNS server since the DNS data is stored in the tree which is already replicated!! I am not sure what the article's statement regarding NOVL was about when it totally missed that it has its own DDNS which is operated in the best model possible - A DIRECTORY!! Another mis-informed article that only focuses on the MSFT and its UNIX enemy discussions. Not knowing all its options. Big Surprise! Toy

I sent a letter to the reporter.... In your recent article about "Windows 2000 to provoke domain game". When you briefly brought up Novell's position in the DDNS technology arena, you didnt even mention that Novell has its own implementation of DDNS which is extrmely efficient since it is the only DDNS in the industry that I know which takes FULL advantage of directory services. by using the directory, it has a natural solution to the constant issue of data transfer between primary and secondary DNS's. Since NDS naturally stores and transfers all the DNS information in the tree and this information is automatically distributed as part of the NDS replication process, up-to-date DNS information is available to all NetWare servers that perform DNS server functions. There is no need for NetWare servers to even define a primary and secondary DNS - they are in essence all Primary DNSs. Sure would be nice for us readers if more informative and frequent airplay would be provided by your magazine(s) other than the same old Microsoft vs Unix discussions. Please be more open-minded and informative outside Microsoft's universe - for the sake of all your readers. But - I guess asking for a change in content is like spitting into the media wind. Toy
