[olug] NetworkSolutions and Dynamic DNS

Wed Apr 23 16:22:17 UTC 2014

we use dynect, but we pay a premium for it through DYN, running about 20
QPS, no issues at all, very dependable, and blazing fast DNS propagation.
They offer unlimited  dynamic DNS as well. We use it for internal and
external DNS (I know.) but it works great. Have about 7 domains set up with
them, own about 75. Unlimited domains as well. just pay for QPS and extra
services.
