Hey, thanks for the PR, love that! The wasteful SOA query is a result of our internal code flow. You can reduce wasteful queries a bit with the new `consistent-backends` setting, b…

Hello! PowerDNS developer here. Did you spot https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/appendices/internals.... and https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/appendices/backend-wr... ? A…

I can echo all of this - we also pay, we're very happy, the concurrency is nice (I believe they're bumping it to 80x soon - when my coworker asked "but what's the catch" I realised…

Can you share the domain name so we can investigate?

I bet this was in before the SPF also went in. You should feel free to take this up with IANA, of course :)

If you are managing your zone data in RCS or similar, why not expose that information in DNS as well? Could be useful for debugging. Indeed, on 2015-01-01, it said "$Id: example.co…

Thank you for the kind words! - Peter van Dijk, PowerDNS

Hello, PowerDNS developer here! Not trying to steal Tenta's thunder here, but you should know that the PowerDNS GeoIP backend can be used without a GeoIP database, in which case it…

The .nl registry does not support algo 15 (and 16) for DS records yet. Support is expected soon.

You said it right - can help defend. On the other end of your dnscrypt tunnel, the queries will still go out unencrypted. They will just be harder to correlate to you specifically.…

PowerDNS developer here - any nits we should know about?

It means that for those zones, they explicitly put the IPs of the edge servers in their resolver (Unbound) configuration, so that lookups of names in those zones don't have to go t…

No, not in the narrowest way. You can go 'somewhere in between' at the cost of blowing up your zone size tremendously, but it's not worth it.

So have three online signers.

I.E. the way SSL/TLS is run today.

I don't know of any either, but there are plenty running PowerDNS in online 'white lies' signing mode. And then, of course, there is Cloudflare. (And indeed, it cannot be done offl…

Just add !gm to your query. If you do it a few times, DDG will remember it and make it easy to add !gm just by pushing ! to open the dropdown.
