Nanog,

Does anyone have information on performance numbers comparing tinydns
vs. bind w/ dlz patch?

Hit me up off-list.

And while we're on the subject...anyone know a reliable web-based admin
front-end for BIND + DLZ + PostgreSQL...? Or does everybody just roll
their own...?

That is called PowerDNS with a bind-backend :wink:

Rolling your own is of course the best version as you can customize it
the way you like, hook it where you want etc. Then again you can do that
with PowerDNS too and with a lot of scripting basically with anything.

AFAIK PowerDNS is only able to use BIND zone files as a data back-end,
not a BIND DLZ database not to mention this will make PowerDNS the DNS
server instead of BIND, which is exactly what I want to move away from.

probind2.sf.net

It is not Postgresql and DLZ, it generates zones using MySQL database.

I second the recommendation for PowerDNS. I built an anycasted, sql
backended instant-update DNS server platform for a registrar who was
interested in selling a "premium dns service" product. We looked long
and hard at bind+dlz as well as PDNS.

Both are great products, and the developer who works on the DLZ code
is a great guy, but we were able to squeeze a lot more queries per
second out of PDNS.

Dear Nanog,

My apologies for not reading down the thread and seeing that the OP
was looking for a way to *stop* using powerdns.

My apologies also for failing once again to sign my post with my full,
legal name, which is the entire purpose of this post.

Love,
