No replies?
May I try to answer the question myself?:
Quoting from Ch. 10 of pdns doc: "Only the Generic SQL, OpenDBX
and BIND backends have the ability to act as master or slave.".
This means that pdns is not aware of changes in some zone(s) on
the LDAP backend - I reached to the conclusion that serial
number in LDAP SOARecord is not supported either - and cannot
send NOTIFY to slaves so that they can subsequently request an
AXFR.
Please confirm.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am interested in running pdns (I have already installed
latest version, as an rpm on CentOS 5.5) with ldap backend (tree
mode).
My question is: Is this setup capable of working as a master
to a conventional (i.e. with zone files) BIND9 server which
will act as a slave?
Currently
our production servers are BIND (various masters and slaves)
and we are looking to migrating to ldap backend using pdns.
What I need is to
be able to setup my local (authoritative for its name space)
pdns/ldap server as Master to (one or more) BIND9 slaves
(which are servers not under my control, on an external
partner network); the (remote, BIND) slave should
mirror the whole namespace managed by the (local) pdns/ldap
master server (as it currently does, but from a currently BIND
master server).
Can this be done and how?
The pdns documentation says that ldap backend has no
master/slave capabilities. Also the ldap backend documentation
refers only to sync on ldap databases, which is not supported
(see http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/PowerDNS_LDAP_Backend/Future).
But I am not interested on syncing ldap databases (I can do
that using openldap syncrepl, to have other pdns/ldap
pseudo-slaves).
Please advise.
