Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The PowerDNS daemon is a versatile nameserver which supports a large number of backends. These backends can either be plain zonefiles or be more dynamic in nature. Additionally, through use of clever programming techniques, PowerDNS offers very high domain resolution performance. Backends for SQLite databases, BIND files and geographical load-balancing are including in the main package. MySQL, PostgreSQL and LDAP back-ends are packaged separately.
