release of the authoritative DNS server , designed for organizing DNS zone responses. From the developers of the project, PowerDNS Authoritative Server serves approximately 30% of all domains in Europe (if considering only domains with DNSSEC signatures, then 90%). The project code is licensed under GPLv2.
PowerDNS Authoritative Server provides the capability to store domain information in various databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, as well as in LDAP and plain text files in BIND format. Answer responses can also be further filtered (for example, to block spam) or redirected using custom handlers in languages such as Lua, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C, and C++. Notable features also include tools for remote statistics collection, including via SNMP or through a Web API (with an embedded HTTP server for statistics and management), instant restart, an integrated engine for connecting handlers in Lua, and the ability to balance loads based on the client's geographical location.
Key :
- Added management of unpublished (hidden) DNSSEC keys, i.e., keys that can be used for signing zones but do not appear in the current zone.
- An automatic publishing option for CDS/CDNSKEY records has been added with a single setting 'default-publish-{cds|cdnskey}' in pdns.conf.
- An option has been added to the gmysql backend to send a flag indicating the possibility of using SSL.
- In the pdnsutil utility, the serial number is now increased after zone edits.
- The backends goracle, lua, mydns, opendbx, and oracle have been removed.
- A 'full' option has been added to the command 'pdns_control show-config'.
