New Features and Improvements
A New Web Application
A new web application has been released for the Men & Mice Suite. This first version of the new web application has basic DNS and DHCP management functionality. In an upcoming version 9.2 of the Men & Mice Suite the goal is to expand on the DNS and DHCP functionality and add new features which are not present in the current web interface or the Windows client (The Men & Mice Management Console).
For details on the functionality in the Web Application, see Men and Mice Web Application Guide.
DNSTAP support for BIND and Unbound on Men & Mice Appliances
DNSTAP is a new open technology, reading DNS server state events directly from the core of the DNS server, and making sure that performance loss is minimal while instrumentation is enabled. DNSTAP allows administrators to easily get more valuable information on the DNS queries the server receives and responses sent to the clients.
