I'm a long time BIND user and recent convert to PowerDNS. I considered BIND-DLZ briefly but found that I wasn't excited about the DB retro-fit on a piece of software that was previously very much meant to live in the world of flat files. My initial intent was to try PowerDNS first and then give BIND-DLZ a test drive also, but I never got around to BIND-DLZ given how well PowerDNS performed. My only beef with PDNS is the inability to use master-slave replication to hosts that are not listed as type NS. This is by design but it nevertheless got in my way. I've since just set all domains to use native replication (e.g. db backend repliciation, Postgres/Slony in this instance) and absolutely could not be happier with the results. The amount of time I spend managing DNS has been reduced to almost nothing given how easily I can script my large operations. Still it pays to be wise: Use transactions!! I've also been getting slightly better query response times with PDNS than I did with BIND for what it's worth. -s On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 8:10 AM, Michele Neylon :: Blacknight < michele@blacknight.ie> wrote:
We developed our own PHP / MySQL system that holds all the records before writing out zonefiles and updates to BIND. We've been using it for several years and it works well :)
