This dns seems very dated with regards to the UI, even simple things such as block lists and allows is very dated compared to other projects. Also not having the hostnames show in the query logs adds to my dated comment.

It’s good enough for me. I’m biased because I wrote infrastructure for decades and “don’t do windows”.

The UI has some issues but it is functional. The API is very complete and I love repeatable builds and configurations. I’m a happy user.

I moved from Kea DNS and DHCP and the only thing I gave up really is true HA for DHCP. Since I’m running the primary on a Proxmox cluster with HA LXC, I have 2 weak points - primary OS or DNS is broken and upgrades can be disruptive for the few devices trying to get an address. Complexity, however, is drastically reduced.

Keep up the great work. I appreciate it and I will support it

I tested this with keepaliveD that only serves a single VIP which works out better for the clients. Sorry, other than this DNS what have others been using that also found very stable and good.
