Publisher's description
From JH Software :The simple yet powerful DNS server for Windows 9x/NT/2000. Thanks to DNS servers we surf the Internet using names such as 'www.jhsoft.com' instead of impossible to remember IP addresses. DNS servers translate these domain names into machine readable IP-addresses needed to locate the requested web-server on the Internet. With Simple DNS Plus you can hosts your own domain name, or simply speed up Internet access by running your own DNS server.

Version: Simple DNS Plus 3.60.01
"Don't waste your time or your money!"
Pros: This may be "great DNS server" software as "rdeutsch" (probably the author!) claims, but you get little in the way of technical support for the price paid, US $109.00 in my case, without even a phone number you can dial at your own expense.
Cons: As above. Also, the site claims the following: If you originally purchased your license, or if you purchased a license upgrade, on or after April 10th 2004, then you are covered by the one year free upgrade protection. In this case there is no charge for this upgrade (to Version 4.00), and you should already have received your new license key by e-mail.
Since I first dowloaded the trial version over a year ago, however, I got VERSION 3.60.11 when I purchased the product on 01-May-2005, and now the developer wants an additional US $75.00 for an upgrade to the current version!

Version: Simple DNS Plus 3.60.01
Pros: As a small ISP, we really enjoy using this DNS server. It is quick to learn, easy to use, it does DNS very well, and it allows us to interface with our web-site for customer signup etc.
The one time we ever needed support (help with some reverse DNS stuff), we got a detailed response from the support staff that solved the issue almost immediately.
Cons: Does not run on Linux (yet).

Version: Simple DNS Plus 3.60.01
"Excellent, simple to install and use. For one machine or a whole domain."
Pros: Setup is a few clicks. It runs immediately. The default configuration should do everthing most people need.
Cons: Can't set a time to live (read the doc for non-standard configuration) greater then 9 days and 23 hours. Ther are times you might want to do this for special needs. Won't bother 99.999% of users. Needs quite a lot of RAM (20Mbytes in my case)

Version: Simple DNS Plus 3.60.01
"Maybe not a waste ot time and money after all..."
Pros: I was able to find a phone number after all on the "Contact Us" link at the developer's website, although it is not toll-free, and the issue regarding me getting the old version instead of the current version (4.00) due to a trial version I downloaded at least a year ago was easily resolved by downloading the NEW trial version and then entering my license key.
Cons: I don't know the "cons" yet, but there is a new feature that supposedly gets around the NAT problem associated with many routers, so my guess is that there are probably more pros than cons worth mentioning here. My apologies to JH Software.

Version: Simple DNS Plus 3.60.01
"THE replacement for MS DNS, a must for Windows ISP's"
Pros: Easy to setup and use. I've been using SDNS for 1.5 years and it still rocks my DNS world ;) Has a simple but effective HTTP api for remote calls which enables you to integrate DNS management in your own software. TIP: use the free .net wrapper from Neokobe.nl for extremely easy integration!
