Thank you for this response, I learned something new.  I do have one other 
question in regards to DNSSEC.  If I enable dnssec in the pdns.conf file for 
later use will all zones that are not "secured"  be broken?

The reason that I am asking this is that I had enabled it and had some 
significant problems with my domains until I ran a 'pdnssec secure-zone 
xyz.com' command on some of the domains that were giving me a problem (with no 
authoritative name server errors)  after I realized that this was the case, I 
removed the  gmysql-dnssec from the .conf file and restarted pdns.   This 
seemed to clear everything up.   I am not using dnssec now but  I intend to 
implement it once I know more about it.

Any Ideas?

Good Day.

I am working with CentOS 6.4, PowerDNS 3.12.e16. on a mysql backend all on one 
box.  No DNSSEC.  Binary was provided through yum and epel. Installed myself 
yesterday.

It is my intent that this server will serve as a Primary Authoritative Name 
Server for some 200-300 domains already running on an old failing BIND server.  
 I Intend to bring up a slave PDNS server today and hook-up mysql replication. 
The original Primary BIND server died a few weeks ago and everything was failed 
over to the secondary (NS2) leaving a vacancy of what I will call NS1.

The person that was maintaining this setup left shortly after the problem 
occurred and I am the new guy trying to get things up and running as stable as 
possible.  I was able to export all of the zones from the remaining BIND server 
(NS2) and import those into the new MySQL backend.  I have PowerDNS 
Webinterface Version 1.5.3 installed and everything looks pretty good.  I am 
able to dig and query the servers records  I think, just fine.

My intent with this is to shut down my current NS2 BIND server and  cutover to 
the new environment with the fresh NS1 and NS2 PDNS installs.  With this, I 
would LIKE to re IP NS1 and NS2 to different addresses when the cutover 
happens.   If I do this, will this be a problem?  Do I need to change the IP 
addresses on the Current NS2 (And NS1 Entry in DNS) and let those records 
propagate before making the cutover?  Am I over thinking this?  I just don't 
want to cause a catastrophe by making this change.....I'm kind "unseasoned" at 
a lot of this sort of thing.  Anything I missed that I should be worried about?

As a secondary question, what would be the proper IPTABLE rules to allow the 
communication of DNS to happen?  I will not be using recursion with these 
servers for dns lookups.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hoy.
