Why deploy the PowerDNS Authoritative Server?
When running from a database, PowerDNS is the most feature-rich authoritative server available. When operating from industry standard 'BIND' configuration and zone files, PowerDNS loads its configuration data at unprecedented speeds, sometimes exceeding the industry standard by a factor of 30.
This means that in either mode, PowerDNS allows for unprecedented amounts of zone updates, with no disruption in operations.
Getting started
To enable easy transition, run PowerDNS in 'BIND' mode on an existing configuration. Alternatively, use the tools provided (zone2sql, zone2ldap) to migrate to a database of your choice.
