Sub-par DNS stuff at DNSStuff

If you're like me, you're frustrated with DNSStuff's actions lately. You only get 4 lookups without making a login, and even when you make a login, you have to log back in each time you access the site. Even a dim-witted web developer would know how to use cookies to automate this process and make things easier on the users.

Also, why should you pay for a web front-end for tools that people have on their servers already?

Check out Boxcheck.com and let me know what you think. I became so fed up, I decided to make my own site that is faster and guaranteed free forever. Period.

    BoxCheck is really a wonderful site. I really liked it. DNSStuff is pathetic now.

    Thank you very much for making the site.

    Is it possible for you to send me the source of the site? I can see that the source is available at http://tools.assembla.com/boxcheck/browser. But it would be very nice if you mail it to me.

    My id is varkey at varkey. in

    Thank you very much.

    One other thing I noticed is that when you do a DNS lookup for A/Cname records it shows the mx records.
