You might also consider MetaIP, an 'offshoot' of Checkpoint software. They
have an ... interesting appliance available. The SAFE framework is an
AWESOME innovation.

      Hello,

      Las week I have been in a Infoblox presentation, and I think this
products are like an beta implementation of a Bind 9 and DHCP from ISC
precompiled in a propietary Linux distribution. One of the major issues
that I could see is that this appliance dont keep consistency between
the zones and the reverse zones, it should be done by the administrator;
I think this is a MUST in an appliance for that price (M$ DNS for
example, has that characteristic, some frontends for Bind too). Have you
probe these appliances? Which other appliances like this (DNS/DHCP)
would you recomend?

      Regards.
