swegener@gentoo.org Sven Wegener The PowerDNS Nameserver is a modern, advanced and high performance authoritative- only nameserver. It is written from scratch and conforms to all relevant DNS standards documents. Furthermore, PowerDNS interfaces with almost any database. Make it possible to use the dev-libs/botan library for crypto-related stuff (like DNSSec) which can be significantly faster than PolarSSL. Enable LUA records. Making it possible to use a MyDNS MySQL database with PowerDNS (not recommended for new deployments). Use a database supported by dev-db/opendbx as backend. Enable support for dev-libs/protobuf. Use a generic socket or pipe as a backend (via JSON RPC requests). Use dev-libs/libsodium for cryptography Use a TinyDNS CDB database as backend. Build optional tools (dnsscan, dnsscope, etc..).
