I=B4ve been= =20 looking at the same but wanting to use ldap. There is even an =20 /usr/ports/net/ldap2dns port . Ldap would seem to be better suited to =20 dns than mysql (a lot more reads than writes). Could someone who is =20 using ldap2dns add some comments and if you use it with bind or djbdns =20 in addition to mysql backend options. It looks like there is an new version with some preformance comments =20 at http://projects.alkaloid.net/ and a web admin tool now integrated =20 in the horde framework. (info from the same page.) that could make it =20 more attractive.
