[Freedombox-discuss] distributed DNS

[bertagaz at ptitcanardnoir.org]

Hi,

I did again some more digging on this topic, and found that some people
(including people from the "cloud community") already had thought of using
couchDB as a DNS server backend.

Seems like it's already possible using Powerdns (well, using the "pipe"
backend) or Bind using the couch-sdb driver
(http://github.com/jpmens/couch-sdb).

Some of these links contains neat ideas that might be worth thinking, and
would be a good start to search how to implement dynamic DNS on top of
that.

I'll dump them on the wiki this time :)
