[Nottingham] MySQL backed nameserver

[James Dobson]

Hi,

You may want to consider...

http://www.howtoforge.com/mydns_name_server

Obviously you may need to tweak it if you get into
large volumes (10,000+)..

Another method is to use the DB to track the settings
and if it changes to recreate the BIND file, then all
you need is the server to 'reboot' every hour... 
.

If you are still sold on a DB I suggest using mysql
cluster as it holds the DB in memory which is
obviously *MUCH* quicker than a harddisk.

Cheers,

James D
