Hello Martin,

I'm cc'ing the mailing list, please try to keep the conversation there

dnsdist will be a fully supported product with supported packages in the
future (the planning is "near the end of this year").

You can run this software (from the package) in production and we will
support you as much as we can. But we don't consider the software of a
stable quality yet.

When the release time comes, there will be more documentation.

As we've included an upstart (the init-system used in Ubuntu 14.04)
config, you can use the 'service' command. e.g. 'service dnsdist
restart'. If you need to change the command-line options, you can edit
the /etc/init/dnsdist.conf file.

Best regards,

Pieter
