<font size="-1"><font face="Palatino Linotype">Hi, <br>
<br>
I am interested in running pdns (I have already installed latest
version, as an rpm on CentOS 5.5) with ldap backend (<b>tree</b>
mode). <br>
<br>
My question is: Is this setup capable of working as a master to
a conventional (i.e. with zone files) BIND9 server which will
act as a slave? <br>
<br>
</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Palatino Linotype">Currently
our production servers are BIND (various masters and slaves) and
we are looking to migrating to ldap backend using pdns.</font></font>
<font size="-1"><font face="Palatino Linotype">What I need is to be
able to setup my local (authoritative for its name space)
pdns/ldap server as Master to (one or more) BIND9 slaves (which
are servers not under my control, on an external partner
network); the (remote, BIND) slave <b>should</b> mirror the
whole namespace managed by the (local) pdns/ldap master server
(as it currently does, but from a currently BIND master server).</font></font><br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Palatino Linotype"><br>
Can this be done and how?<br>
<br>
The pdns documentation says that ldap backend has no
master/slave capabilities. Also the ldap backend documentation
refers only to sync on ldap databases, which is not supported
(see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/PowerDNS_LDAP_Backend/Future">http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/PowerDNS_LDAP_Backend/Future</a>).
But I am not interested on syncing ldap databases (I can do that
using openldap syncrepl, to have other pdns/ldap pseudo-slaves).<br>
<br>
Please advise.<br>
