| Likewise, I’ve talked with several large customers who run Infoblox, and they all seemed to like them just fine… it’s a good product from a good company. Whether they provide a lot of value over the more recent versions of MSFT DNS/DHCP, I can’t say for sure. I know the IPAM features are a nice step up from MSFT, but then again, Win 8 is supposed to have some sort of IPAM capability in the box, so who knows?

I’ve got quite a few customers with them – they work fine.
Thanks,

Subject: [ActiveDir] Infoblox for AD DNS - thoughts, opinions, experiences
Curious to hear some discussion about Infoblox devices (or DNS/DHCP appliances for that matter) for handling DNS. Just started a new job where these appliances are being used for all DHCP and DNS management. To the point where even the DCs themselves do not host AD integrated DNS, and they point to the Infoblox devices. Granted this is a heavy Novell environment, and AD is not being used for much more than just authentication, but I digress...
My experiences of managing AD (even in environments with 500+ domain controllers) have proven that Microsoft hosted AD integrated DNS works beautifully and best of all, it's free! My thoughts are Windows clients, whether DNS servers, member servers, or client machines, do a great job of trying to ensure they can register their own records properly, and if you allow them to do so, things generally work well.
Thoughts, comments, experienced much appreciated.
Does anyone find value in these type of devices? Looking at the documentation on their website, much of it seems outdated. Perhaps these had their place and time several years ago, before MS DNS was arguably widely accepted?
Thanks,
Matt Reilly
