DNS with LDAP ?
Hi Currently I'm in the process of planing the migration of the config and user information to a central LDAP database for as many services as possible. Has anyone succeeded in keeping all DNS data (currently I'm using bind with the usual zone files) in an LDAP database? If possible, I'd like avoid an LDAP-to-DNS-config export, a live query wrapper would be preferred. I don't mind changing from bind to anything else (if secure). ldapdns (which is said to run without djbdns by now) looks somehow like what I'm heading for, but apart from that it wouldn't compile complaining about missing ldap libs, some questions remain. Like, how to I configure and/or initiate 2ndary NS notifies, restrict zone transfers, is it secure and stable etc. Anyone experience here? To lower the load on the LDAP server, would a caching ns be advisable? Any hints appreciated! TIA, Marcel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
