Using a Cisco Router as a DNS Server
The folks over at NIL have put together an excellent article on using a Cisco router as a central DNS server for your organization. They also include a new feature called DNS Views - it allows you to configure your Cisco router for split-DNS: giving private addresses to servers accessible to internal users but public addresses to anyone else asking from the Internet. Nice!!!

Very nice indeed! The split DNS feature was one of the reason to buy a Content Switch, much like the Foundry ServerIron and Cisco CSS series. Is there a certain version of IOS or feature set that is required?

I still prefer the Bind on Unix solution, but I was playing with it last week just to show a couple of friends that cisco routers can also do your laundry!
At work I have a box running Tinydns for 5 years as authoritative name servers for my domains. DJB still rocks!
