DNS
A system which maintains a relationship between Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and domain names. Computers use the DNS system to electronically transmit data with other computers through the internet. DNS is actually comprised of a set of database servers which maintain the relationship between IP addresses and domain names and facilitate the lookup between the two.

CustomDNS
CustomDNS is a modular DNS server. It's designed to serve virtual zones. These are zones in which certain address records are computed on the fly. For example, an ISP might want to provide hostnames for its users:
john-doe.users.randomisp.net
jdoe.users.randomisp.net
mjf.users.randomisp.net
CustomDNS can be modified to look these addresses up in a database or talk to your pre-existing software. And you won't need to make dhcpd send DDNS updates to bind, or anything similarly horrible.
CustomDNS is based on Brian Wellington's dnsjava package. The individual components communicate via Hewlett-Packard's e-speak (which is GPL'd).
