We used QIP on HP-UX for a fortune 25 company.  It was a small
10,000-20,000 node network.  The clients/end points were mixed mixed
windows and unix. It was no fun.  It depended on an oracle backend,
and had some quirks for distributing the infrastructure.

We replaced it with ISC's DHCPD and Bind and some well made shell
scripts/web interfaces (mainly front ending nsupdate).

I've never used CNS Network Registrar.
