[Pdns-users] DNSSec for other backends?

[Nick Milas]

Hi Bert and all,

I am sure there is some plan (by the powerDNS project managers) to 
continue Norbert's great work on the LDAP backend. One of the powerful 
features of powerDNS over other products is the strong and elegant 
operation with an LDAP backend, which - as I have read in numerous 
discussions/forums worldwide - has pushed a lot of DNS admins to migrate 
to powerdns/ldap without regrets. One of them is me, having migrated 
(with a significant effort) just a few months ago from a wide, 
distrubuted, conventional BIND infrastructure to pdns/ldap, inventing 
into a totally new architecture for our organization. So, you can 
understand my concerns, feeling unsafe with a software whose 
maintenance/evolution seemed steady and guaranteed - virtues which are 
an absolute necessity for this type of mission-critical software - and 
now future appears (at least) a bit unclear...

It's obvious that it's vital for the pdns/ldap software to continue to 
evolve, a process which seems somewhat slowed down for a while now (for 
the ldap backend), due to Norbert's lack of time.

Any feedback on anticipated developments - a draft roadmap - for the 
ldap backend I believe would really help to relieve pressure from the 
minds and feelings of a significant number of admins who love powerdns, 
have seen a true value in coupling powerdns with ldap, and want to 
continue to rely on their pdns/ldap engine.

Thanking Bert, Norbert and all PowerDNS developers and managers, for a 
truly unique and remarkable project, I close these notes with a 
confidence in Bert's ability to handle/resolve all probable events and 
overcome any barriers in keeping all project components at the 
cutting-edge of software technology.

All the best,
Nick
