Stupid DNS Question RE New Servers etc Options

[serverkiller]

We have 3 servers here, one is old ensim from 2002 (retiring), next is newer plesk from ev1 (started in Jan 2006), third is cpanel from orbit (March 2007).

Frankly, I can't stand the fact that there is no real time dns control with orbit's panel. Server Command system used with the ev1 stuff is awesome. Never had any problems with it.

I'd just as soon dump this $200 a month cpanel orbit thing and get another ev1 with server command for dns (But it doesn't look like that's possible)... and no, I have no desire to run my own dns. I prefer the likes of server command and/or dnsmadeeasy - system admin is enough work as it is trying to make a living - (No I don't host for profit, these servers take care of my business only).

Am I missing something with orbit dns do I need to up my subscription on dnsme to include more than 25 domains. The only thing I regret about retiring the old ensim server is the full time online dns control... (and playing the godaddy dns support game isn't an option once their systems flag a domain as not hosted 'there'... ughh! Anyone got any ideas around this?).

Thoughts anyone?
Thanks in advance.

I know this isn't the question you asked, but I'd urge you again to look at running your own dns, especially if you could have more than one cpanel server. One of the things I like about cpanel is that the dns clustering works great... very very easy and after setup, you no longer have to mess with dns control panels at all. Add a subdomain... bam, it's added by cpanel to both or all dns servers in your dns cluster. Add a domain, bam, automatic setup across your dns cluster at the time you create the account.
