Excellent Applet

Thanks so much for making this! I always RDP into a Windows system in order to manage DNS and DHCP because there's not much worthwhile that I've found to use on Leopard or Snow Leopard.

I've been using this for 2 days only, but the stability is perfect and it works very very fast on my Macs as opposed to going the Windows route, as I have done prior to finding this.

Thanks again for the time and effort put into making this - it's much appreciated :)
