Why not to use BIND isn't hard to justify. Break out the exploit lists for BIND vs PowerDNS. Then break out the performance metrics. PowerDNS is hands down the winner. So much so that I have talked several other companies into converting to it. Brad This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

It was installed as part of another product we bought some time ago and only when we had to move servers recently did we realize that we are actually using PowerDNS. As mentioned above I confirm that the package is version 2.9.21 by running the command pdns_control version I think it was installed from a binary image, but again I am not 100% sure on that either. BTW when I ran: root@cu [~]# rpm -q pdns-server it gives me an error message: package pdns-server is not installed. And when I ran rpm -qa pdns-server it did not return anything. You can do a rpm -qa | grep pdns Brad This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

[Pdns-users] forward-zones-recurse
I see this is in the newer recursor. Could this be used to forward all requests? What I am trying to do, and will look at using lua to do, is to forward all requests from certain IP addresses to another recursor but do DNS replies for other IP's. Example: Customer IP: 1.1.1.1 --- Forwarded 4.2.3.1 --- Forwarded 1.1.1.2 --- DNS Resolved 1.1.1.3 --- DNS Resolved I need to use LUA because these IP's could change on the fly. Is this possible?

This is done if the user exceeds certain bandwidth limitations and allows the customer to redirect the user to a billing page or what not. DHCP can be used to do this but there is the lease time delay. I was thinking this could be done easier with my local DNS. That way I don't have to make any changes to DHCP and handle it much faster. I was hoping I could use forward-zones-recurse to forward certain users DNS to the customers DNS when required.
