This is a list of notable managed DNS providers in a comparison table. A managed DNS provider offers either a web-based control panel or downloadable software that allows users to manage their DNS traffic via specified protocols such as: DNS failover, dynamic IP addresses, SMTP authentication, and GeoDNS.
GeoDNS (or GeoIP) is a patch for BIND DNS server software, to allow geographical split horizon (different DNS answers based on client's geographical location), based on MaxMind's geoip (commercial) or geolite (free) databases. The objective of this technology is to enhance the DNS resolution based on the geographical location of the client. [1]
A major category of DNS server functionality, see above. Recursive A major category of DNS server functionality, see above. Recursion Access Control Servers with this feature provide control over which hosts are permitted DNS recursive lookups. This is useful for load balancing and service protection. Secondary Mode (or Slave Mode)
The name is a possible reference to U.S. Routes, [1] and "53" is a reference to the TCP/UDP port 53, where DNS server requests are addressed. [2] Route 53 allows users to reach AWS services and non-AWS infrastructure and to monitor the health of their application and its endpoints. Route 53's servers are distributed throughout the world.
Tinydns quickly became the second most popular DNS server and a number of DNS managers were released for it, including: VegaDNS, SuaveDNS, and NicTool. In 2005, PowerDNS was released. One of its features was the ability to serve DNS data directly out of the SQL database, bypassing the export step entirely.
When an authoritative name server receives a DNS query, it takes advantage of ECS DNS extension to resolve the hostname to a CDN which is geolocationally near to the client IP's subnet, hence the client makes further requests to a nearby CDN, thereby reducing latency. The EDNS client subnet mechanism is specified in RFC 7871.
The format of a zone file is defined in RFC 1035 (section 5) and RFC 1034 (section 3.6.1). This format was originally used by the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) software package, but has been widely adopted by other DNS server software – though some of them (e.g. NSD, PowerDNS) are using the zone files only as a starting point to compile them into database format, see also Microsoft ...
Round-robin DNS is a technique of load distribution, load balancing, or fault-tolerance provisioning multiple, redundant Internet Protocol service hosts, e.g., Web server, FTP servers, by managing the Domain Name System's (DNS) responses to address requests from client computers according to an appropriate statistical model.
