Random authoritative DNS server notes

PowerDNS

  • Does not perform additional processing on SRV record requests
  • Has an option to perform additional processing for IPv6 to show AAAA addresses in additional section for NS records (and presumably MX, but I don't have my-zone MX records at this time)
  • Can simultaneously be master and slave for AXFR transfers

tinydns

  • Does not do additional processing for AAAA records (non-patched; will have to see what IPv6 patches do)
  • Does not filter out duplicate additional section records for NS queries
  • (unable to currently test SRV additional processing or MX additional processing as I don't have local zones for those on djbdns)

Windows DNS Server 2008

  • Performs additional processing for A and AAAA on SRV record requests
  • Can set up secondary (slave) servers that pull from axfrdns or other BIND-like master.
  • Can then convert those secondaries to master, but my checkbox to integrate them into AD is grayed out. It wants a file name for the data store.
  • Can act as master server for other AXFR slaves. Can be a secondary (slave) and still send zone transfers (master) to others.
