[Pdns-users] Suse Linux and MS SQL
I have Suse Linux on one box, and MS SQL on another. Is it possible (And how hard would it be) to install PDNS on the Suse box, and then use MS SQL as the backend? Thanks, _ Michael C.

RE: [Pdns-users] Suse Linux and MS SQL
Great, I will try it out. So Suse Linux will work fine for PDNS? The problem I am having is it is crashing every 15 minutes in windows. I wrote a routine to restart it every half hour, but it is getting out of hand now. It was only crashing 3 to 4 times a day, but now it is all the time. It is becoming a problem, and I definitely do not want to go back to MS DNS. Thanks, Michael C.

RE: [Pdns-users] Suse Linux and MS SQL
I guess there is no type of ODBC driver for Suse Linux? That would be fine for me. I just can't deal with the windows problems anymore. Obviously, I am not a Unix/Linux pro...

RE: [Pdns-users] Suse Linux and MS SQL
Well, it would depend on how much it costs, and also compared to sponsoring a windows version upgrade. Either one would work. Of course, Suse Linux is a lot cheaper, but I am more familiar with windows, and already have 20+ windows servers running... Let me know, I may be interested, Best regards, Michael C.

It comes with agressive salespeople. What we could do is expedite the development of the SQL Server backend, if you would sponsor this development. Sponsorship allows us to dedicate a developer to implementing a desired feature, because we can in good concience use a developer that is doing billable work. For purely open source work we always have to justify this. We like to do public sponsorship, which means you get credited prominently in the release notes as the sponsor of SQL Server/Sybase support. In the past, Register.com has been a notable sponsor, they enabled us to add Oracle support. Let us know if this would work for you. We also offer free support to go with the sponsored feature for 6 months, so you can be sure it really works. Bert Best regards, Michael C.

Is it possible (And how hard would it be) to install PDNS on the Suse box, and then use MS SQL as the backend? I can think about one more option different from the one outlined by Bert: - powerdns driven by the ldap backend that connects to OpenLDAP - OpenLDAP that connects to the mssql server Connectivity between OpenLDAP MSSQL can be achieved by using www.unixodbc.org in conjunction with www.freetds.org See http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/978.html for some more information on this. We have never used FreeTDS in connection with OpenLDAP but we are using it for a couple of other projects and are very happy with it. BTW, is there a real reason why the ODBC backend for PowerDNS is only available on windows platforms?

Re: [Pdns-users] Suse Linux and MS SQL
Hi Michael I have Suse Linux on one box, and MS SQL on another. Is it possible (And how hard would it be) to install PDNS on the Suse box, and then use MS SQL as the backend? You can use the PDNS OpenDBX backend and FreeTDS to connect to your MS SQL server. This setup worked very well for another member of this list. The servers officially supported by the OpenDBX backend are: - MySQL - PostgreSQL - SQLite 2 and 3 - MS SQL Server Supported but not extensively tested yet: - Oracle 8i to 10g - Sybase ASE - Firebird 2 Norbert -- OpenPGP public key http://www.linuxnetworks.de/norbert.pubkey.asc pgpMaUTcUFhai.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users

Great, I will power up the server later this week... Oh shoot, it already is later! I guess I am behind... Well, I will set it up in the next couple of days, and see where I get.

Well, I will set it up in the next couple of days, and see where I get. Currently, you have to compile OpenDBX for SuSE yourself because the version available with OpenSuSE is 1.0.3 and you need 1.1.x for MSSQL support. I will release the next stable version (1.2.0) in two weeks and maybe Darix (the maintainer of the OpenSuSE packages) will include the mssql backend by default so this issue would be gone.

Here is where the spurious SOA gets inserted:

The above patch removes the addition of the spurious SOA in to the
