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 :)
You don't need a UNIX engineer to handle simple admin tasks like editing a zone file but it may help to have one to administrate the machines.
Another factor is, that that apprentice might be a girl :)
Girls using VI rock.

PS: to my knowledge there is no simple gui for management for good and
reliable DNS server. The closest I know is powerdns that allows to use
various DB backends for the lookups and there are some bad and less bad
web GUIs around the net.
