Posadis supports + some BIND extensions as well. +- Support for zone transfers. Posadis is able to answer both AXFR and IXFR + queries (though it always sends the complete zone), and it is able to act as + a secondary using AXFR and IXFR as well. +- Support for DNS NOTIFY to ensure fast zone change propagation. +- Support for most standard RR types: A, NS, MD, MF, CNAME, SOA, NULL, WKS, + PTR, HINFO, MX, TXT, RP, AFSDB, PX, AAAA, SRV, NAPTR, A6 and DNAME. Posadis + can also tunnel RR types it doesn't recognize. +- Support for many platforms: both Windows and Unix-like platforms such as + Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. +- Support for IPv6: listning on IPv6 sockets for both Windows and Unix, and + support for AAAA and A6 resource records and bitstring labels. +- "Tunnel zones": forward queries to other nameservers. +- "Hint zones": hint to other nameservers. Posadis can automatically update the + nameserver list for hint zones. +- Support for both UDP and TCP: you can specify on which IP addresses and ports + you want Posadis to listen. +- A concise and up-to-date user manual describing all of Posadis' features in + detail. + +WWW: http://posadis.sourceforge.net/ |
