Powerdns vs Bind - Site Owners Forums

nele · 12-12-2017, 04:23 PM

Hey Guys,

I know only BIND and used to use it my first setup with WHM, so what's the advantage of Powerdns comparing to BIND?

Please share your experience with everyone.

Thanks

PowerDNS consists of two parts: the Authoritative Server and the Recursor. Other nameservers fully combine these functions, PowerDNS offers them separately, but can mix both authoritative and recursive usage seamlessly.

When the Authoritative Server answers a question, it comes out of the database, and can be trusted as being authoritative. There is no way to pollute the cache or to confuse the daemon.

The Recursor, conversely, by default has no knowledge of domains itself, but will always consult other authoritative servers to answer questions given to it.

BIND is relatively insecure compared to other options out there, and also vulnerable to cache poisoning attacks (partially because the authoritative and recursive functions aren't separated.) Definitely go for PowerDNS, djbdns, or NSD/Unbound. ... Bind9 provides a simple and fast DNS recursive & authoritative .
