[NTLUG:Discuss] IP Address management

[Dusty Matthews]

Or you could do it in Python. The guy that gets to extend the feature set after you will love you for life. Long live Python. There is also PHP, which a kid can program in, if you want to roll your own, Alan.

Also, why do you not make an Open Source version? All source yearns to be Open. ;)

Cheers,
Dusty
