[nsd-users] backend database

[Nicolas de Bari Embriz Garcia Rojas]

Hi, currently I am using powerdns + mysql but I was thinking on giving a
try to NSD, is just that  I am wondering how could some one maintain
thousand of zones with out a db backend or what kind of tools/software
is use for managing all this information.

Having NSD as an slave of powerdns i think is not an options since when
dealing with to many updates that creates o lot of traffic in where a
simple MySQL-replication could be more efficient.

In case I create my own software for maintaining, creating the zones,
and later dumping the configuration to a flat file, If I am right every
time I make a change to a zone, I will have to "nscd rebuild" right?

regards.
