[Pdns-dev] RFC 4892 (server information) for PowerDNS

[Shane Kerr]

All,

We have some existing monitoring stuff that uses ID.SERVER to check
which configuration file we are using, like this:

NSD
---
server: 
    identity: "ns0a.app1.ams1.afliias-nst.info 20080731192110 1387"


BIND
----
options {
    server-id "ns0b.app1.ams1.afilias-nst.info 20080826150718 1387";


PowerDNS does not currently support ID.SERVER or HOSTNAME.BIND for the
authoritative side.

It turns out it was pretty straightforward to add this. I submitted a
few patches that implement ID.SERVER and HOSTNAME.BIND as described in
RFC 4892, which you can find here:
