Stan! *slap* :)
1) Apprentices are there to learn something, if they don't show a total desinterest they will find it cool to learn VI and BIND (or $whatever-other-dns-server). 2) It's your responsibility to turn them into good UNIX engineers! Or at least learn them something useful. Useful in terms of "they understand how DNS work" and not in terms of "they can administrate something with a GUI and as long as the GUI works everything is fine". 3) I'm not a feminist, but how does it matter here if it's a girl or not? Even if I share the oppinion of girls using VI being sexy ;)

Anybody knows a good and reliable DNS server that is suitable to run on VMware and has a simple gui for management?
Any of the BSDs will do (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) and the simple gui is vi.
It rocks, we use it.
Marc, if you compare the cost of having a UNIX+vi engineer on salary and an apprentice who can do the DNS job easily through a GUI, vi does not rock any more :)
Another factor is, that that apprentice might be a girl :)
