PowerDNS Backend

Designate Configuration

Parameter	Default	Note
domain_type	NATIVE	PowerDNS Domain Type
also_notify	[]	List of additional IPs to send NOTIFYs to.
connection	sqlite:///$pystatepath/powerdns.sqlite	Database connection string
connection_debug	0	Verbosity of SQL debugging information. 0=None, 100=Everything
connection_trace	False	Add python stack traces to SQL as comment strings
idle_timeout	3600	timeout before idle sql connections are reaped
max_retries	10	maximum db connection retries during startup. (setting -1 implies an infinite retry count)
retry_interval	10	interval between retries of opening a sql connection
mysql_engine	InnoDB	MySQL engine to use
sqlite_synchronous	True	If passed, use synchronous mode for sqlite

PowerDNS Configuration

You need to configure PowerDNS to use the MySQL backend.

First enable the MySQL backend:

launch = gmysql

Configure the MySQL database settings:

gmysql-host=<host>
gmysql-port=
gmysql-dbname=<dbname>
gmysql-user=<username>
gmysql-password=<password>
gmysql-dnssec=yes
#gmysql-socket=<socket path>

Note

PowerDNS can connect via socket or host/port.

Configure the options for designate-central - specifaclly "connection" to point to your MySQL database:
```
[backend:powerdns]
connection = mysql://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<dbname>
```
Setup the database schema.

$ designate-manage powerdns init
$ designate-manage powerdns sync

Restart PowerDNS and it should be ready to serve queries using the MySQL database as the backing store.

PowerDNS deployment as hidden Master

One deployment scenario can be that the PowerDNS backend will be used as a "hidden" Master DNS for other DNS servers to consume via AXFR.

Say you have 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 as slaves then configure the backend as follows in addition to other options:

[backend:powernds]
domain_type = MASTER
also_notify = 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2
