  • Running a DNS server is not especially hard.
  • PowerDNS supports querying a database for DNS records, simplifying management.
  • Example SQL query shows how records are stored and retrieved in PowerDNS.
  • Using a subdomain with NS records pointing to your DNS server is a simple solution for public accessibility.
  • This setup allows for redundancy with your main domain served by professional DNS providers.
  • Adding or modifying DNS records (like CNAMEs) becomes as easy as inserting data into a database, eliminating the need for manual updates via domain registrar interfaces.
