“This article shows how you can install the PowerDNS
nameserver (with MySQL backend) and the Poweradmin control panel
for PowerDNS on an Ubuntu 9.10 system. PowerDNS is a
high-performance, authoritative-only nameserver – in the setup
described here it will read the DNS records from a MySQL database
(similar to MyDNS), although other backends such as PostgreSQL are
supported as well. Poweradmin is a web-based control panel for
PowerDNS.“I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
“1 Preliminary Note
“In this example I’m using an Ubuntu 9.10 host with the hostname
server1.example.com and the IP address 192.168.0.100, set up
according to the first 10 chapters of this tutorial: The Perfect
Server – Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10) [ISPConfig 2].“I will set up just one PowerDNS server in this example (a
master); adding PowerDNS slave(s) can easily be achieved by using
MySQL database replication from the master to the slave(s),
therefore no zone transfers are needed (this again is similar to
MyDNS). MySQL database replication can be set up according to this
tutorial: How To Set Up Database Replication In MySQL (PowerDNS
also supports native zone transfers (for scenarios where you cannot
use MySQL replication) – see
http://downloads.powerdns.com/documentation/html/replication.html).”
