PowerDNS on Rails is a split from the BIND DLZ on Rails project.

PowerDNS is a reliable alternative to BIND and sports a flexible, feature rich design and support for various backends, including MySQL and PostgreSQL. This
simplifies the management of thousands of zones, and provides added redundancy (by way of database replication) and opens the doors for web frontends that ease this even more.

PowerDNS on Rails is built based on our experience of managing thousands of DNS records through various (often crude) techniques, that included building zone
files from databases via cron, and implementing PowerDNS for its database backends.

We first built BIND DLZ on Rails that allowed us to migrate back to BIND using a MySQL 5.0 backend, but after several failed production runs we decided to
split the project off to use our existing PowerDNS infrastructure. Using Rails 2 for a interface just makes sense because we can build a rich interface and an REST API in a single go. We have a lot of integration needs, and this was our main driver.
