[Pdns-users] MongoDB Backend merged Re: Mongo DB and PowerDNS part 3: Now with DNSSEC

[fredrik danerklint]

Nikolas,

PowerDNS ask each backend for domains which has a different 'notified_serial' 
than 'serial' for the domain. 

This function is called getUpdatedMasters(vector<DomainInfo>* domains) and 
exists in the source file 'master.cc' for MongoDB backend. 

What PowerDNS except after a call to this function is a list of all domains 
that has a different serialnumber than notified serialnumber.

Every backend can implement this functionallity differently since PowerDNS 
does not know how the information about a domain is stored.


The good part that you asked about this is that I (you!) found a bug which 
would not fill out the domains that has a different serial number against the 
real serial number. I've sent Bert a patch to be included in the source code 
to fix this.
