[Pdns-users] Different MySQL server for reads vs writes

Hi,

I do this by creating a separate instance of PowerDNS for writes. As an 
example, in /etc/powerdns I have:

pdns-internal.conf - Configured to use the read only database (listening 
on port 5350 with no web server/API - queries are sent to it via dnsdist)
pdns-api.conf - Configured to use the write database (listening on port 
5351 and the API/web server on 8351)

And I use the systemd service instances to manage this (eg. 
pdns at internal, pdns at api)
