dns

Recently, thanks to my once again playing EVE Online, I have had the opportunity to talk to some people who deal with a lot of my interest subjects as their day job. This has allowed me to learn a lot about many different subjects.

One thing that came up recently (when I commented that my DNS server had fallen over) was that SQL backed DNS was stupid... except when there was some requirement for it to be updated by non-technical users. Now, given that is a large part of the reason I moved to using SQL backed DNS in the first place, I enquired about how to get around the various issues when using SQL backed DNS.
