Resilient DNS across locations

If all your nameservers sit in the same data center, one outage there takes DNS down too. LionDNS lets you run a secondary nameserver on another server — for example in another European country — that keeps an up-to-date copy of every zone.

The node runs PowerDNS Authoritative and receives zones via NOTIFY/AXFR from cPanel, Plesk, BIND or PowerDNS. The web API listens locally only, and changes that need root run in a separate, constrained worker.

Who it is for

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it primary or secondary?

LionDNS mainly works as a secondary node that receives zones from your primary, with optional autoprimary/autosecondary provisioning.

How do I access the panel?

Via an SSH tunnel or a TLS reverse proxy, since the API listens locally only.
