Cool, then maybe the "wish" on the list may com true earlier than we all thought..

See, when we lift together, it can be done!
Dont always sit back and wait for the team to do it all, they are under alot of stress already. Just go on help by what ever skills you have.

i did the template. But what are the cookies for the login password etc.

well, i have installed powerdns and made it use the bind configuration generated by ispcp, im using pdns-admin (http://pdnsadmin.iguanadons.net/) and trying to integrate it with ispcp, i only use it now to add records other than those made by ispcp by using both bind backend and mysql backend for powerdns, i took a quick look on the tables in ispcp, is there actually a way to read dns data from the database, is it there somewhere ? maybe using mysql view will allow easier integration! no ?

Since there is not dns management now - there is no database table for dns settings.

I have a DNS management mod almost finished. another week or two and ill post it.

YAY thats great! im also trying to get some kind of integration between ispcp and pdns-admin, so im trying to memic the users table of pdns-admin, i have actually no prior experience in sql or web based anything , anyhow, this is so far how the query might look like (still some fields are missing, and field names are all incorrect but are equivilent:

select admin_id, admin_name, admin_pass ,admin_type_id , "default" AS user_skin,lang,email,domain_name,count(domain_name) from admin inner join admin_type_id on admin_type_id.admin_type = admin.admin_type inner join user_gui_props on admin.admin_id = user_gui_props.id left outer join domain on admin.admin_id = domain.domain_admin_id OR admin.admin_id = domain.domain_created_id OR admin_id=1 GROUP BY admin_id;

and table admin_type_id is:
+------------+---------------+
| admin_type | admin_type_id |
+------------+---------------+
| admin | 1 |
| reseller | 2 |
| user | 3 |
+------------+---------------+

also to integrate pdns-admin groups and ispcp admin_type

I think that the mysql based name server is not a good idea, maybe the mysql based administration and recreate the static bind configs with a script is better because the high number of mysql connection (and memory usage).

if used with powerdns, they claim its responsiveness is high and load on database is not high. and since managing everything from the db seems easier and cleaner to me, i'd follow this track, and pdns is doing a good job.

other wise generating static files from db is not hard, and you can even set a slave bind for a pdns master for example.

Dear all, especially those who have special interest/experience in dns, is there a problem wiht powerdns db structure? is it sufficient to replace bind zone structure? im asking because if it is, maybe it would be a good idea to make ispcp write dns data to a db compatable with pdns, and if one has pdns it will use that db, and if not then a simple script will generate zone files for bind ... is there any problem with this approach ? or is there any incompatibility ?
