First, the question why use ldap as dns backend tends to be more or
less philosophical, but in two words, (at least) when you have medium
sized zones and organizations, LDAP is *a very convenient central
repository of all organizational information* and is easily administered
using e.g. phplda

I have no experience with using LDAP as a backend myself (I don't even know why
you'd want to use LDAP as a backend), but have you actually filed a request
ticket in the bug tracker?

An addition: despite the reported errors, notify is sent and received
successfully, so notify-dns-slaves works fine!
So, this tool could be used with a cron'ed custom (bash) script (if one
can't make slapi-dnsnotify work) which would regularly ldapsearch
soarecord serials and send notify (whe
I have reached to the same conclusion.
However, rebuilding openldap doesn't seem to be easy or straightforward
(but I'll give it a try when I can)... It is commonly accepted that in
production servers, pre-built, platform-specific RPMs are preferred (to
avoid all sorts of problems), compiled

I'd say your slapd has no support for loadable modules -- you're going
to have to rebuild it.

Thanks again for your help, JP.
I describe in short some more things I tried (I still need your guidance):
Initially, I found out that the plugin was not being loaded in openldap
(as recorded in ldap.log):
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 182: keyword ignored
And:

No hints really, as I haven't used that bi
An update:
I installed it on my ldap master too, but it doesn't seem to be sending
NOTIFY as well.
(All servers are CentOS 5.5 with openldap 2.3.43.el5_5.2-12-x86_64 and
latest versions of powerdns available.)

Thanks JP,
I just tried it. I installed it on my master pdns/ldap server (I had no
installation problems), but I haven't managed to make it work (yet). It
doesnt' seem to send notify.
I have the following questions:
1. The LDAP server used by my pdns primary master is a SLAVE LDAP

Have you looked at slapi-dnsnotify? It's an OpenLDAP plugin that
Dennis,
Thanks for the reply.
In order to achieve quick sync (max 5 min), this would require a cron
job to run every, say, 5 minutes (this is not bad). A simple text file
would be used to record the latest retrieved SOA serials (for all zones
concerned), and then ldapsearch would find and co
Hi,
I guess a simple shell script can do the job for you:
* ldapsearch SOA records that changed today (provided your SOA
numbering is using dates)
* for each entry pdns_control notify domainname
Just my $.02

As we are deploying a new DNS server infrastructure in our organization
and we have planned to use pdns/ldap on our primary master (already in
