[Pdns-users] PDNS Auth Zone Distribution in a Global Network?
Hello everyone, I am considering moving some or all of DNSimple's authoritative DNS service back over to PowerDNS within the next 6 months, but before I do so, I'm hoping to get in touch with one or more folks from the PowerDNS community who operate authoritative DNS across multiple geographic regions. We currently have POPs in San Jose, Chicago, Virginia, Amsterdam, Tokyo, and a new one coming online in Sydney. To distribute zone changes quickly (within 60 seconds) from our Chicago data center we have a home grown zone distribution system where notifications are sent to a zone server within each data center, and that zone server in turn sends out a notice to every name server in its data center. Each name server then queries the zone server for the zone, and the zone server either pulls the zone from memcached and returns it to the name server, which caches it in memory, or the zone server queries our primary data store in Chicago to get the zone. This system works, however as it is all home grown, it is difficult to maintain and enhance. I am interested in moving away from our custom solution to something off-the-shelf, and I'm looking for recommendations from other operators on what is working for you. Thanks in advance for your time and your thoughts. -Anthony ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users

That was against 2.9.21 however so I wonder if this is a regression or something else? URL records are not supported in PowerDNS 3 and up. How does your custom backend handle AXFR? Or are you leaving AXFR to a gsql backend? Kind regards, My goal was to have AXFR on its own host and use a gqsl backend. It seems that it is blowing up on some other non-standard record types we have as well, so I think a custom AXFR backend is probably the best choice at this time. What do you think? After speaking to Peter on IRC here are the options I can pursue: 1.) Modify the gmysql-list-query so that it skips custom records (like URL). When we switch to DNSSEC then we would modify the gmysql-list-query-auth query instead. 2.) Discuss with the customer another approach for slaving since dropping records seems to negate the benefits of the slave. I'm leaning towards option 2 at this point but am awaiting feedback from our customer. Thanks, Peter, for helping out. -Anthony -- http://anthonyeden.com | twitter: @aeden | skype: anthonyeden ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users

Re: [Pdns-users] CNAME pointing to URL forwarding record

Please tell us what you dig for and which server - presumably yours - you are asking. As there is no such thing as a URL forwarding record in DNS in general, is it safe to assume that you mean a URL fancy record type such as in http://doc.powerdns.com/fancy-records.html ? Working: dig @ns1.dnsimple.com www.wemakednssimple.comhttp://www.sunnybliss.com Not working: dig @8.8.8.8 www.wemakednssimple.comhttp://www.sunnybliss.com And yes, by URL forwarding record I mean the URL fancy record type as described in the PowerDNS documentation. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Which is wrong. A recursor will recognise this and just ignore that part of the answer (there is nothing else in the answer so you get nothing). I don't know what the cause is, but this is the result and why it doesn't work. I wonder if setting skip-cname to yes would solve the problem and if so, what are the implications of doing so?
