[Pdns-users] Re: Install pdns on cpanel server

[james@080.net]

Hi!
Cpanel is good for hosting, but it is not so good for DNS, because it use
BIND, and that's why I want to keeping using cpanel for my hosting clients
but move to use pdns for my domain clients and hosting clients.

BIND use zone file to store information for a domain name, although cpanel
got web interface let user to modify or create dns setting but only a few
(or maybe none) of my clients know how to set their IPs, not to mention my
domain only clients, they register domain from us and we need to provide a
easy way for them to set IPs, they maybe not buy my hosting service so they
won't have the cpanel interface to setup dns.

Anyway, I think I already figure out how to setup pdns on cpanel, I still in
middle of getting pdns serve my needs, I hope I can provide some kind of
menu or howto when I finished, cause pdns's document seems have some bugs to
me and there is no where mention how should u do if u are on a cpanel box.

Regards,

James
