Description

A user-friendly configuration tool designed to simplify the setup of your own DNS server. It utilizes BIND, the industry-standard DNS server that is pre-installed on every Mac. While Apple only includes the tool to configure this server on Mac OS X Server, the tool eliminates the need to purchase the costly Server operating system just for a DNS server.

Our website provided a free download of iDNS 1.3 for Mac. This Mac app was originally developed by MacServe. IDNS can be installed on Mac OS X 10.5 or later. Commonly, this application's installer has the following filename: iDNS_1.3.zip. The most popular version of the application is 1.3. The unique identifier for this program's bundle is com.MacServe.iDNS. The program belongs to Internet & Network Tools.

From the developer:

iDNS is a configuration tool that makes setting up your own DNS server as simple as possible. iDNS uses the de facto standard DNS server, BIND, which comes installed on every Mac. The tool to configure this DNS server is not included by Apple on standard Mac OS X installations, only Mac OS X Server. But what if you don't want to buy Apple's expensive Server operating system just for a DNS server? This is the beauty of iDNS!
