What is the latest PowerDNS version?

The most recent supported release of the PowerDNS Recursor is 4.8. 1 and is available as: tar. bz2 source.

What is the difference between PowerDNS recursor and authoritative?

Authoritative Nameservers are DNS Servers that contain the DNS records for your domains. The authoritative nameserver will answer queries with information directly from its records. Recursor DNS servers (commonly referred to as Recursive or Resolving) function between the end user and the authoritative DNS server.

What is PowerDNS Recursor?

The PowerDNS Recursor is a high-performance DNS recursor with built-in scripting capabilities. It is known to power the resolving needs of over 150 million internet connections. The documentation is only for the 4.1 and higher series, users of older versions are urged to read End of life statements and upgrade!

What is the difference between bind and PowerDNS?

PowerDNS uses the pdns_control utility to control the nameserver functions, while BIND/named uses rndc to administer these functions. PowerDNS does not provide a recursive/caching nameserver and thus requires external nameservers in the resolv. conf file, while BIND/named does provide a recursive/caching nameserver.

What is the lifecycle of PowerDNS?

We aim to have a release every six months. The latest release receives correctness, stability and security updates. The two releases before that get critical updates only. Older releases are marked end of life and receive no updates at all.

Is recursive DNS better?

Recursive DNS queries generally tend to resolve faster than iterative queries. This is due to caching. A recursive DNS server caches the final answer to every query it performs and saves that final answer for a certain amount of time (known as the Time-To-Live).

Does PowerDNS use BIND?

Whatever the reason, PowerDNS has an easy way for you to use your existing BIND master zone configuration files to configure your PowerDNS server.

Is recursive DNS safe?

Not only do recursive DNS security solutions secure all ports and protocols, they block DNS requests to malware drop-sites, ransomware sites, and malware CnC.

What is the default TTL for PowerDNS?

The default time to live is 20 seconds and can be changed by setting cache-ttl .

What is PowerDNS admin?

PowerDNS-Admin is a web-based administration interface for PowerDNS. Unlike other older front-end applications for PowerDNS, who often write directly to the PowerDNS database, it uses the PowerDNS application programming interface introduced in PowerDNS 3. x and 4.

What is PowerDNS admin?

PowerDNS-Admin is a web-based administration interface for PowerDNS. Unlike other older front-end applications for PowerDNS, who often write directly to the PowerDNS database, it uses the PowerDNS application programming interface introduced in PowerDNS 3. x and 4.

Does PowerDNS use BIND?

Whatever the reason, PowerDNS has an easy way for you to use your existing BIND master zone configuration files to configure your PowerDNS server.

What is nsd dns?

In Internet computing, NSD (for "name server daemon") is an open-source Domain Name System (DNS) server. It was developed by NLnet Labs of Amsterdam in cooperation with the RIPE NCC, from scratch as an authoritative name server (i.e., not implementing the recursive caching function by design).
