PowerDNS Administrator 1.1.4 (Default branch)
02-10-2008
PDNS-Admin, or PowerDNS Administrator, is a Web-based script which aids in administering domains and records for the PowerDNS SQL name server software. PDNS-Admin is targeted mainly toward individual domain owners, but should be robust enough to be used in a larger capacity by an ISP or other big host. For those who may not know, PowerDNS is a domain name server application, much like BIND, but offering alternative backends for the storage of domain information.

Can be used if a slave missed previous notifications or is generally hard of hearing. notify-host <domain> <host> Same as above but with operator specified IP address as destination, to be used if you know better than PowerDNS. cycle Restart the nameserver so it reloads its configuration. ping Check if the server is alive. purge [<record>] Purge entries from the packet cache. If the record name ends with a dollar ($) all entries that end with that name are removed. If no record is specified the entire cache is purged. rediscover Instructs backends that new domains may have appeared in the database, or, in the case of the Bind backend, in named.conf. retrieve <domain> Retrieve a slave domain from its master. Done nearly immediatly. set <variable> <value> Set the configuration parameter <variable> to <value>. Currently only the query-logging can be set. show <variable> Show a single statistic, as present in the output of the list command. quit Tell a running pdns_server to quit. status Show usage statistics. uptime Show the uptime of the running server. version Print the version of the running pdns daemon.
