DNS Sever Specs ?

I'm out of room for any server, so I'm building a 1 - 1U dns server, can I give this 1U dns 2 NIC card and give it like x.x.x.1 x.x.x.2 address and call it "two" seperate DNS server ?

Oh it will be a 1U celeron system... 10 gb hd
 
You can always bind multiple IP addresses to your server.

as for a spec, it depends on your DNS needs. How much resolutions are you looking at per hour ? What OS are you running ? Is this a corporate or Internet DNS server ? Will you run anything else on the server or only DNS service ?

If it is a low - moderate, pentium 300 Mhz should be good enough 🙂

Are you *SURE* you want something as critical (with built in redundancy on the OS level even to support multiple system) on one system?
 
Shouldn't be much resolution... for corporate dns, actually this is replacing the external dns server that I'm using p200 with linux

moving it to a 1u rack celeron 700 (anything lower is also the same price) probably gonna move to w2k dns

I never bind multiple ip to 1 adapter, how does it work on w2k ?
 
No i'm not sure, actually I was thinking of moving the new 1u to the primary dns server and move that old p200 into a closet and get another 1u at a co-location site..
