How much harder is to setup a Bind (master) / Powerdns (slave)? Im getting crazy to achieve that. Thanks Hi,

excellent tutorial. How much harder is to setup a Bind (master) / Powerdns (slave)? Im getting crazy to achieve that.

At the cost of not being able to actually verify that the packages you get are not modified, but that is a highly unlikely event. apt-get install debian-archive-keyring apt-get update Kind regards, Vegard You can get the keys via APT, in Debian atleast.

apt-get install debian-archive-keyring

Monitor says that it loads up gmysql-module fine, and that it accept connections. Other than that monitor gives me the standard output you'd expect, like opening up UDP-connections, and denying alot of recursor-requests from misc. Internet drones. They are not running as recursor, as these nameservers is supposed to only serve as ... nameservers. This (to my knowledge) should not have anything to do with AXFR. AXFR is actually configured on both servers. I have tried to only have it active on one server at a time too. Could I be wrong? I'll try to go over things a few more times and check some documentation (pdns_control), but i might have to take you up on that email ;-) Kind regards, Vegard Hei hei, Patrick :-)

This is the relevant configuration. The master server will look at the NS records and initiate an AXFR transfer with the slaves, if everything is set up correctly. Have a look at the DB and check that all the records are there. Check that everything is set up correctly. What does the log file/monitor mode output of PowerDNS say? There is also a tool called pdns_control (see http://doc.powerdns.com/pdns-internals.html#PDNSCONTROL for more info) that you can use to trigger a notify on demand and have PowerDNS rediscover the database, etc. Check if that works. Normally this should not be necessary, though. If you can't get it to work at all, feel free to send me a mail and I'll have a look. Cheers! :-) Patrick Hei Vegard,

Where does the master-server actually find out who is his slave servers? I cannot see any configuration for this, although PowerDNS is truly awesome, it looks kinda weird that it doesn't need to be specified.
