release of an authoritative DNS server , designed to organize the return of DNS zones. By project developers, PowerDNS Authoritative Server serves approximately 30% of the total number of domains in Europe (if we consider only domains with DNSSEC signatures, then 90%). Project code licensed under GPLv2.
PowerDNS Authoritative Server provides the ability to store domain information in a variety of databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, as well as in LDAP and plain text files in the BIND format. The return of the response can be additionally filtered (for example, to filter out spam) or redirected by connecting your own handlers in Lua, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C and C ++. Among the features, there are also tools for remote collection of statistics, including via SNMP or via the Web API (an http server is built in for statistics and management), instant restart, a built-in engine for connecting handlers in the Lua language, the ability to balance load based on the geographic location of the client .
All :
- Added by management of unpublished (hidden) DNSSEC keys, i.e. keys that can be used to sign zones, but are not displayed in the actual zone.
- It is now possible to automatically publish CDS/CDNSKEY records using one βdefault-publish-{cds|cdnskey}β setting in pdns.conf.
- An option has been added to the gmysql backend to send a flag about the possibility of using SSL.
- The pdnsutil utility ensures that the sequence number is increased after editing a zone.
- The goracle, lua, mydns, opendbx and oracle backends have been removed.
- Added "full" option to the "pdns_control show-config" command.
