PDNS is an advanced high performance authoritative nameserver with a host of backends. Besides plain BIND configuration files, PDNS reads information from MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and many other databases. Backends can easily be written in any language, and a sample Perl backend is provided. PDNS powers http://express.powerdns.com, a Web-based DNS maintenance site, and the top level domain .TK.
