Tools for detecting a dead server and deactivating the corresponding name entry

[Christoph Wagner]

I am searching for an add-on I would say. Distributed Director is a really
expensive hardware solution.
Anybody who knows a "cheap" easy tool which can detect inactive service and
change name entries?

PS:  http://www.eddieware.org/old/dns_server.html  is not reachable.

Regards,
Chris
