   Heh heh heh... that's not the point. The point simply is that it does   
   "something" for free. And that's what matters for freeware.   
      
   It doesn't matter that it does "more" if you pay more.   
   It only matters that it does "enough" for free. :)   
      
   (Note: You may consider that wrong, but that's how I feel about freeware.)

   I don't disagree that multiple DNS's can be much better than one DNS.   
   The question is what freeware gives that to you.   
      
   I tried a few before I settled (for now) on YogaDNS.   
   But I'm a proponent of freeware and have been for forty years.   
      
   If you know of something better, now is the time to let us in on it.

   Again, your insinuation that a bicycle is a crippled motorcycle is fair   
   enough if what you need is a motorcycle - but if a bike works - it's not   
   crippled.   
      
   It's not fair of you to deprecate what YogaDNS does for free without you   
   providing an alternative that does what you seem to feel it needs to do.   
      
   What do you suggest that is better?
