Can anyone recommend software for an authoritative DNS server where the open source code is clean and well documented? I have an anycast-related experiment I'd like to put together and I want to be able to quickly shoehorn it into existing code.
PowerDNS has a very flexible backend system that might do what you need. https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/backends/index.html I've written some SQL triggers to auto-populate zones before; there's a LUA or even a unix pipe backend that you can script with any language you want. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
