Hi everybody, Over the past week, together with a number of PowerDNS users and Lua experts, I've added support for scripting the PowerDNS Recursor to do interesting things.
>From the provisional 3.1.7 release notes: This version contains powerful scripting abilities, allowing operators to modify DNS responses in many interesting ways. Among other things, these abilities can be used to filter out malware domains, to perform load balancing, to comply with legal and other requirements and finally, to implement 'NXDOMAIN' redirection. It is hoped that the addition of Lua scripting will enable responsible DNS modification for those that need it. An example script can be found on: http://wiki.powerdns.com/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi/browser/trunk/pdns/pdns/powerdns-example-script.lua Documentation is in: http://doc.powerdns.com/recursor-scripting.html A version of the sources that contains the Lua scripting abilities can be found on http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/pdns-recursor-3.1.7-rc1.tar.bz2 Please read the README for compilation instructions. So far people have been very excited by this ability, please let us know what you think of it!
