Introduction
Rationale
This HOWTO documents the steps necessary to build and use the LDAP DNS backend I've written for PowerDNS, an extremely versatile name server. This backend enables PowerDNS to retrieve DNS information from any standard compliant LDAP server. This is extremly handy if you have already stored information about your hosts in your LDAP tree.
Download
The LDAP DNS backend is included in the PowerDNS source tree. You can get the latest packages of PowerDNS by visiting PowerDNS.com or http://download.powerdns.com.
Credits
I would like to thank Bert Hubert for his courage to write a clean implementation of the DNS protocol, which is a real nightmare for every good programmer. You will understand what I mean, if you read the specs yourself
As a result PowerDNS is an extremely versatile DNS server consisting of very good source code which is easy to understand and to extend. Please support him by contributing code or bug reports or spread the word of PowerDNS ;-)
