Dear Bert, I am one of the millions of lives you've touched with your great work on DNS. I would like to thank you and wish you an even more wild ride from now on.
My personal experience with PowerDNS was a very pleasant one. Very easy to configure it, for my needs at least, a set it and forget it kind of tool. I was amused to see one of my initial concerns written about in your articles, the zone files being stored in a DB. May Courage, Truth and Love follow you wherever you may go. Blessings from Romania in this uncertain time.
