Installing PowerDNS as supermaster with slaves

The PowerDNS Nameserver is a modern, advanced and high performance authoritative-only nameserver. It is written from scratch and conforms to all relevant DNS standards documents. Furthermore, PowerDNS interfaces with almost any database.

This tutorial has been tested to be working on Debian squeeze. It's assumed that you are installing one supermaster and one or more slaves that will sync with the master automatically.

On all servers

1. Install the PowerDNS server and MySql backend using apt

apt-get install pdns-server pdns-backend-mysql
