LDAPDNS serves as a gateway from LDAP to DNS.
If you're looking for a fast and reliable root-nameserver software that can perform better than bind and djbdns on medium to large-scale installations, then ldapdns is the software for you. What sets ldapdns apart is its threaded core design and its capability to utilize an external directory, providing efficient performance and scalability.
One of the unique features of ldapdns is its simplicity, and it does not require running under user-control as root, making it ideal for both small and large installations. This software queries the ldap server directly, resulting in immediate updates without the need to rebuild constant databases or wait for bind to catch up.
While ldapdns is still a work-in-progress, many users, including myself, have used it on production networks with great results. It's up to you to optimize the software for your network's specific needs, but rest assured the potential benefits make it well worth the effort.
