<p class="MsoNormal">Good Day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working with CentOS 6.4, PowerDNS 3.12.e16. on a mysql backend all on one box. No DNSSEC. Binary was provided through yum and epel. Installed myself yesterday.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is my intent that this server will serve as a Primary Authoritative Name Server for some 200-300 domains already running on an old failing BIND server. I Intend to bring up a slave PDNS server today and hook-up mysql replication. The
original Primary BIND server died a few weeks ago and everything was failed over to the secondary (NS2) leaving a vacancy of what I will call NS1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The person that was maintaining this setup left shortly after the problem occurred and I am the new guy trying to get things up and running as stable as possible. I was able to export all of the zones from the remaining BIND server (NS2)
and import those into the new MySQL backend. I have PowerDNS Webinterface Version 1.5.3 installed and everything looks pretty good. I am able to dig and query the servers records I think, just fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My intent with this is to shut down my current NS2 BIND server and cutover to the new environment with the fresh NS1 and NS2 PDNS installs. With this, I would LIKE to re IP NS1 and NS2 to different addresses when the cutover happens.
If I do this, will this be a problem? Do I need to change the IP addresses on the Current NS2 (And NS1 Entry in DNS) and let those records propagate before making the cutover? Am I over thinking this? I just don’t want to cause a catastrophe by making
this change…..I’m kind “unseasoned” at a lot of this sort of thing. Anything I missed that I should be worried about?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a secondary question, what would be the proper IPTABLE rules to allow the communication of DNS to happen? I will not be using recursion with these servers for dns lookups.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be greatly appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
