Am I reading this bug correctly, that MAAS currently asks BIND to reload its entire configure file on every machine provision and removal?
This seems like a problem worth solving rather than trying to work around. At least PowerDNS provides several mechanisms for dynamically adding and removing records from a zone: - dnsupdate: https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/dnsupdate.html - REST api: https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/http-api/index.html - direct SQL to a backing database: https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/migration.html Since dnsupdate is an RFC-standardized protocol there's a pretty good shot BIND supports it as well. Was this tried and found lacking? The API and SQL approaches are likely to not have equivalents in BIND. I'm not sure what your DNSSEC goals are, but PowerDNS's documentation describes choices, including pkcs#11 in case that's important: https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/dnssec/index.html Thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710278 Title: [2.3a1] named stuck on reload, DNS broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bind/+bug/1710278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
