I use PowerDNS too, but with BIND flat files as a backend. Setting up replication is even easier than MySQL: I just rsync the flat files from a central server to my 2 DNS servers whenever I make changes. PowerDNS automatically reloads the files based on their mtime.
- thaumaturgy 14y agoYeah, I'd considered that, and there are some serious advantages to flat files. To be honest, relying on MySQL for production anything makes me nervous. But: SQL queries occasionally save my butt when needing to make lots of changes all at once, instead of having to figure out sed again or edit lots of files; and, I wanted something that would sync automatically, since I'm an idiot and sometimes forget to do something like an rsync command after a change.
