Master Your DNS, DHCP and IPAM

DNSBOX400 is a master appliance for integrated IPAM (IP Address Management), DNS and DHCP. It is a central management server for controlling unlimited remote DNS and DHCP servers and enabling integrated administration by a team of any size, distributed anywhere.

DNSBOX Master - DiagramIt features an enterprise-grade fully-featured integrated DDI management application – first released in 1996 and now in its 7th generation – embedded on ApplianSys’ world-class appliance platform.

DNSBOX400 (Download factsheet) integrates particularly closely with the ApplianSys DNSBOX200 “slave” DNS / DHCP server, but is also compatible with any other RFC-compliant DNS server.

DNSBOX400 automates synchronisation between linked DDI servers – giving you visibility, control, security and easy management all from a single web interface.

DDI deployments make it easy to:

  • Set up secure SSH connections and establish links between servers
  • Centrally manage and control remote DNS and DHCP servers from one interface:
    • Configure easily the same permitted subnets and DNS forwarding rules on all your remote servers
    • Push new firmware on to connected DNSBOX200s
    • Reporting – aggregated performance of all your remote recursive DNS servers


For smaller requirements without integrated IPAM, DNSBOX300 masters can be combined with DNSBOX200 slaves to give you
