HowTo setup a DNS Appliance (Cobalt RAQ2)

Last weeks i spent some time working on a ‘new’ DNS appliance. DNS is light weight but you must have multiple separate servers for redundancy in multiple locations. Using a power consuming HP DL-360 server would be a serious overkill and running Microsoft Windows Server for DNS only, is a waste of licensing / money / expertise and required hardware. The [...]

[VBScript/ASP] About Isnull and =null

See the examples below:Dim test If (test=null) Then Response.Write "True" Else Response.Write "False" End If If Not(test=null) Then Response.Write "True" Else Response.Write "False" End If Both will show "False".
