<p>Men & Mice Ships DNS Expert, an Essential DNS Analysis Tool for IPSs and<br />
Enterprises</p>
<p>Revolutionary Tool Brings Reliability and Ease-of-use to DNS Server<br />
Administration</p>
<p>Reykjavik, Iceland August 24/-- Men & Mice today announced the immediate<br />
availability of DNS Expert for Mac OS, a revolutionary DNS analysis and<br />
problem-solving tool for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and IT<br />
professionals.</p>
<p>Facilitating the task of DNS administration, Men & Mice has utilized its<br />
expert background in DNS software development and provided a diagnostic<br />
utility that maximizes the reliability of DNS server administration while<br />
minimizing administration time. DNS Expert offers fast and comprehensive<br />
error tracking and provides easy-to-understand solutions to complex DNS<br />
problems. DNS Expert analyzes DNS records on all DNS servers for Mac, Unix,<br />
Windows, or any other operating system.</p>
<p>Says Cricket Liu, co-author of the O'Reilly & Associates book "DNS & BIND"<br />
after beta testing DNS Expert: "Congratulations on putting together a great<br />
product! I won't hesitate to recommend this to my customers."</p>
<p>DNS Expert, an essential tool for ISPs and enterprises, is available for<br />
Mac OS, Windows 95/98/NT for $295 from Men & Mice. A Lite version of DNS<br />
Expert, suitable for small Mac OS businesses, is also available for $99.<br />
Registered users of QuickDNS Pro can order DNS Expert or DNS Expert Lite at<br />
special pricing from Men & Mice. Demo versions of DNS Expert and DNS Expert<br />
Lite can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.menandmice.com" title="http://www.menandmice.com">http://www.menandmice.com</a></p>
<p>Ultimate DNS reliability through comprehensive error tracking</p>
<p>ISPs can now enjoy ultimate reliability and ease of use during the DNS<br />
administration process, whether in getting a health check on their DNS<br />
setup or responding to immediate network problems. DNS Expert can<br />
systematically error-check and validate any part of the DNS setup. DNS<br />
Expert also provides an easy path to quick DNS problem identification by<br />
locating problems and providing easy-to-understand solutions to even the<br />
most complex DNS problems.</p>
<p>"I have used DNS Expert to analyze all of the zones which we host," says<br />
Jim Evans at InterNet Access Network, an Ohio Dayton Area ISP. "DNS Expert<br />
has very quickly and efficiently given me the information I need to clean<br />
up my zone files. I am very impressed and I feel that anyone that must deal<br />
with DNS should have a copy of this utility ."</p>
<p>The analysis performed by DNS Expert includes checking the availability of<br />
backup mail- and DNS service for domains, the general domain sanity, and<br />
the connection to parent domains. Says Sigurdur Ragnarsson, DNS Expert<br />
product manager: "DNS Expert performs over 50 different checks, practically<br />
all the tests that can be made to a DNS server. These tests surpass any<br />
tests done on DNS servers today."</p>
<p>Essential diagnostic companion for both new and experienced administrators</p>
<p>Manual DNS error tracking and validation of DNS records is often very time<br />
consuming, even for the most experienced administrator. Errors in DNS<br />
records are easily overlooked and checks can be left out in the course of<br />
the validation process. A survey recently conducted on approximately 1200<br />
Internet domains revealed that over 60% had erroneous setup. With DNS<br />
Expert, new and experienced administrators are provided with the means of<br />
easily and systematically checking every aspect of DNS, ensuring a correct<br />
setup while minimizing the administration effort.</p>
