Men & Mice today released DNS Expert Monitor for round-the-clock monitoring of the Domain Name System on any platform. The earlier diagnostic version of DNS Expert has gotten rave reviews, and Men & Mice are now offering the same comprehensive tests in the form of a monitoring tool. A network administrator is now able to monitor hundreds of zones without specific DNS know-how.

"Because of the complex nature of DNS, companies often neglect to manage and configure DNS properly. This puts critical infrastructure, such as web presence and e-mail traffic, at risk," said Cricket Liu, VP of Research and Development at Men & Mice, and co-author of the O'Reilly & Associates Nutshell Handbook, "DNS and BIND".

"While DNS Expert was the perfect diagnostic tool for DNS, the busy schedule of network administrators often kept them from maintenance at regular intervals, says Petur Petursson, CEO of Men & Mice. By offering DNS Expert as a monitoring tool, we address the practical problems facing many administrators and offer them the tool that fits into their busy schedule and working habits."

About DNS -- The Domain Name System
The Domain Name System, or DNS, is like the Internet's phone book-- in particular, the white pages. When you visit a web site, DNS handles translating the symbolic domain name in the URL, such as www.menandmice.com, into one or more numeric IP addresses, such as 192.220.90.71. When you send electronic mail on the Internet, DNS tells your mail server how to route your email to its destination. In fact, almost every Internet service relies on DNS.
