Thank you and Ben for your feedback. I agree to the above, that's why we
decided to use it in the first place!
What does PowerDNS to what BIND doesn't do for you?
Frankly, I don't like BIND having a very large share of the market!
Additionally, I have come to like PowerDNS and its LDAP backend; it has
an easy setup and it is fast; it also has a nice "family"-like
community. Moreover, as we have recently invested a lot of effort to
setup the current backbone (including an internal Web application for
DNS record management) and BIND uses a different LDAP schema, we would
not be willing to start a new migration process... Unfortunately, we
didn't expect that PowerDNS LDAP-backend would remain without a
developer and we have no resources (funds or people) to engage in
PowerDNS ldap-backend development.
So, I am posting here partly to attract attention of LDAP
administrators/organizations using LDAP as DNS store in their DNS Server
Software, esp. PowerDNS and developers who might be interested therein.
