<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks to everyone who replied. Several people asked that I post some of the suggestions that I received to NANOG, so here goes. :)</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Several people also replied that they are building their own database using either plain-text records or SQL databases (mySQL, PostgreSQL, mSQL, etc). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have personally looked at Tree and got a demo copy of Lucent QIP (No Windows 2000 server setup yet to test :) ). While testing tree, I found documentation and some of the more advanced "features" (e.g. email alerts, permission levels) were lacking. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>On the flip side, QIP and MetaIP have the ability to manage your DNS and DHCP services. While that is nice, I really don't need the functionality and it does drive the price higher. :(</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I would suggest trying out the above software. However, if they do not fit your needs, it looks like you have to build your own. </FONT></P>
