Hey ,
Hi Vishal,
Ive managed to get a standalone installation of pdns Authoritative
server up and running with a mysql backend and poweradmin interface
. However , i havent found a single mention of a pdns installation
integrating with a Windows DNS Server . Let me elaborate further :
We have a bunch of devs who would like to create/modify/delete records
and zones in our internal DNS server (Active Directory Integrated)
without them having to access the server itself . so giving them an
interface that does the above made sense . My pdns installation is on
Linux . I came across the pdns-ldap backend but thats somehow not
worked out for me . After compiling with --with-modules="ldap" and
making sure my pdns.conf pointed to the correct basedn , i was unable
to pull down any of the zones from my Win DNS to my db . (assuming
thats what it does) I would really appreciate it if anyone could
provide me any info or send me along the correct track here . Awaiting
your prompt response .
No, that is not what it does.
The LDAP-backend does, like the MySQL-backend, does not copy anything
(unless it's a slave-server, in which case powerdns copies data), is a
database where zones exist which are queried when a client asks for a
record.
I don't know if you can use these 2 backends at the same time.
Normally the easiest way to deal with seperate (authoritive) nameservers
is to use seperate zones. So one nameserver has a zone: company.tld and
an other nameserver has a sub-zone: other.company.tld
You setup the company.tld to point other.company.tld to the other
nameserver(s) by creating a NS-record with the IP-address of the other
nameserver.
That way a 'resolving nameserver' will know it should query an other
authoritive nameserver for the other zone and there is no need to copy
anything.
