Of mild interest to readers of this list may be the first public release of what is to become PDNS 2.0 PDNS is an advanced high performance authoritative nameserver with a host of backends. Besides plain Bind configuration files, PDNS reads information from MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and many other databases. Backends can easily be written in any language, a sample perl backend is provided. PDNS powers http://express.powerdns.com, a Web-based DNS maintenance site and the toplevel domain .TK. The not-for-profit release can be found on http://www.powerdns.com/pdns , documentation is on http://downloads.powerdns.com/documentation/html/ or included in the distribution. This is not yet a mature release, so your comments are appreciated.
