I've been toiling with pdns for the past few days and keep finding that much of the information on the net on how to go about setting this up is a mess of versions that don't work.
I've rebuilt from scratch and this should all be pretty simple but to confirm, I need some help so posting here. First, I am setting this up on a Centos7 server. The version I am using is https://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/pdns-4.0.3.tar.bz2 I also installed pdns-backend-mysql which seemed to be needed since there were errors until I installed this. Now the package is installed but of course, doesn't install the database. This is where I need your help to confirm I am doing the right things. I then use the following schema; https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/modules/gmysqlbackend/schema.mysql.sql QUESTION: Is this the correct schema for the version I have installed? I restart the server and do not see any errors. Now, I want to add the admin package so install the following. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/poweradmin/poweradmin-2.1.7.tgz QUESTION: Is this the correct package for the version of pdns which I have installed? After these two things are installed, is there anything else I need to install in order to have a master authoritative server which mainly only propagates outward, meaning, no client connections. QUESTIONS 1: docs say that when adding/updating/removing records from the db, powerdns never needs to be restarted. If I manually add a record into the db without using the powerdns interface, will pdns know to update itself instantly? 2: is there a way of adding/updating/removing records from the command line without using mysql? 3: After installing the powerdns server, do I change the /etc/resolv.conf file to 127.0.0.1 in order to use this dns server rather than an external? Thanks very much for any help you can provide. _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
