I took a break from my recent OpenSolaris Zones wrangling this weekend to throw down on a migration from BIND to PowerDNS. It’s always nice to have your zones stored in a MySQL database as we have ours configured, but man, someone really needs to write a new web UI for it. Coming from being able to make massive changes by writing some scripts with 1,$s/search/replace/g antics, it’s really tough to manually modify each row declaration with a button click within the AJAX UI. Or, if anyone has any recommendations, I’m up for hearing them.

One really slick thing is that we’ve got our slaves replicating via MySQL replication which is an inventive way to keep the zones up-to-date in real-time without too much finagling.
