The Bind9 LDAP sdb driver is designed to create an LDAP back-end for BIND 9 via the simplified database interface 'sdb.' This software allows for more manageable database integration and simplified data retrieval.
The Bind9 LDAP sdb driver is an impressive effort towards developing an LDAP back-end for BIND 9 while utilizing the new simplified database interface - sdb. This software is designed to offer users the ability to store their zones in LDAP as opposed to storing them in files.
It's important to note that with sdb, zones are not cached in memory, as opposed to other methods where BIND would conveniently do that. The software merely does a database lookup when it receives a query.
However, for users who still prefer to store their zones in LDAP while benefiting from BIND's caching properties, the ldap2zone tool may come in handy. All in all, the Bind9 LDAP sdb driver is an exciting development for users who want more flexibility in managing their DNS zone data.
