[Pdns-users] PowerDNS backend

[Roman Gaufman]

PowerDNS can fork the process as many times as you configure using
the distributor-threads option.

The good thing is the process remains running and kept running by
PowerDNS's guardian so I think it will be more limited by your process than
by PowerDNS :)

Re: Peter van Dijk

Thank you for that, I will check it out :) - right now I also read the
openvpn ipp.txt file every time it changes to give vpn clients their own
hostname so the pipe backend gives a bit more flexibility, but will
definitely check out the remotebackend!
