GloboDNS

Overview

GloboDNS is a versatile Ruby on Rails application tailored for managing domain name services utilizing Bind. With its robust RESTful API and MySQL as a reliable storage backend, GloboDNS streamlines domain management by integrating various functionalities into an easy-to-use interface. It takes inspiration from the PowerDNS-on-rails project by Kenneth Kalmer, enhancing it with a user-friendly design and additional features such as a job queue and specialized import scripts for Bind.

What sets GloboDNS apart is its passive operation model. Once you configure the primary and slave servers and perform the initial record import, the application seamlessly communicates with the database to handle all subsequent operations. This allows users to maintain their domain records efficiently while exporting necessary files to Bind servers using tools like Rsync.
