Posadis is a powerful Domain Name Server for various platforms. It can be an authoritive DNS server for your zones (it supports standard DNS master files, DNS Notify and zone transfers), but it can also speed up DNS resolution for your local network by acting as a caching DNS server. > > more information
Poslib is a C++ library for people who want to write applications that make use of the Domain Name System. It consists of a client part, that can be used to send DNS queries, interpret Resource Records, and read master files, among other thins, and a server part which makes writing a DNS server much easier. > > more information
SANS, or the Simple Authoritive Name Server, is just that: a very basic DNS server for Windows that can be a primary DNS server for your domain names. It has a very easy-to-use interface, making it suitable to start experimenting with DNS a bit, before stepping over to SANS's big brother. > > more information
The Posadis Master File Editor is a graphical editor of DNS master files, the files used by many DNS servers (including Posadis and BIND) to store DNS zone data in. Using this editor, you can graphically maintain your zone data. The editor also features a syntax check which helps you avoid common mistakes. > > more information
The DNS Query tool is a program you can use to query Domain Name Servers for information. It can, at your choice, display the answer it receives as a raw DNS message or in a more human-readable format. This makes it a very useful tool for debugging DNS problems. > > more information

I have developed some more exotic Posadis modules that are not shipped with the program itself as well:

dnsfile - A client, server and Posadis module to distibute (small) files over the Domain Name System.
regexp-block - Block domain names by wildcards.
pos6poison - Poison buggy DNS caches by injecting false data.

I have also writen a partial Win32 implementation of FAM.
