Supporting node health check?

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 06:14:42 -0000

While i am suppporting engineer, with quite complex
intranet/internet environment, I want to search a
extreme flexible DNS server to hand over my pc dns
client to get correct answer in any environment.

some zone is in local environment, some zone is
intranet need intranet dns server, but while I dialup
vpn I need to use different dns ip for dns query. and
when I am in home, i need to use another isp dns ip to
access outside.

So could add forward node health check to posadis,
then if the forwarding node is alive then it could be
serve for query and deleted from forwarding list if
dead dynamically.

URL Forwarding

Anonymous — Sun, 21 Nov 2004 23:21:06 -0000

URL Forwarding is useful for example when you want to
map your domain name to a website hosted on you ISP's
server. e.g. you want to be able to forward
www.yourdomain.com URL to
www.yourisp.com/~username/ URL.

This feature is usually available in paid DNS services
(and some free ones too). For example
http://www.zoneedit.com has this feature
called 'WebForward'.

dynamic dns

Anonymous — Thu, 23 Sep 2004 17:50:59 -0000

support for ddns (dynamic dns) with TSIG (plz make it MS
compatible, and add ISC type if possible).

example : client with dynamic ip connects to server,
sends enrypted sig (TSIG) via dynamic DNS client,
server checks it and enters it's current ip into database
with name defined in dynamic dns client.
Other clients with dynamic ip also send encrypted sig,
Posadis DNS server checks it for validity (remains totally
silent if invalid) and sends back ip for queried name.

mx and other magic not reqd, just plain name->ip
resolving.

Web Interface

I think this may be similar to a previous request, but
here goes:

I'm using this DNS server on my home LAN, and I'm
running a small website service on this network. I need
a way to control the domains over the network intranet,
but I'm no good at PHP. Any way to incorporate this
into a future release?

Log file per day

hardings — Wed, 05 Nov 2003 02:09:47 -0000

Would it be possible to have Posadis start a new log file
at midnight each day, with peraps a yyyymmdd
component in the file name?

DNS IP Resolver cache

Anonymous — Mon, 27 Oct 2003 15:56:29 -0000

Basicly something that allows the server to run as a
reverse dns cache.

IE: resolving a IP eg: 80.49.29.90 resolves to
pv90.szczecin.sdi.tpnet.pl etc...

So far I havn't been able to find this feature at all
documented anywhere.

Either as a module/zone, or as a standalone tool.

Would you like to offer an UPnP interface to your server as a
plugin?

How
do you think about to support this standard with a library?

Would you like to use more design patterns in your
