DNS Boss:  Open and Extensible 

     DNS Boss is very open and extensible.  DNS Boss 
is not constrained to specific versions of BIND.  It 
should work with all of the functioning versions of
BIND from 4.x to 8.x to 9.x and all of the releases
in between.  DNS Boss is deliberately not shipped with
a verion of BIND, so that the Systems Administrator
can use the version of BIND that already comes with 
the system, or one they wish to build.  For example,
if a Systems Administrator were to only install DNS 
Boss on a Solaris 2.5 to Solaris 10 machine, they
should be able to get a DNS primary running without
installing anything else, because SUN ships a working 
version of BIND by default.

     DNS Boss is NOT locked into a SQL database.  
DNS Boss writes the DNS databases into open ASCII
files.  If for some reason, a decision was ever made
to stop using DNS Boss, the ASCII DNS database files
could still be modified by hand, and a company would
not be locked into a proprietary solution, tied to
a proprietary version of a SQL type database.

     DNS Boss can easily be extended by using either
the command line interface with UNIX shell scripts,
or the Java API.  DNS Boss has powerful IP
Management capabilities.
