Hi Michael, In BIND mode, a special-purpose sqlite3 database is used to store all dnssec related data. That sqlite3 database folllows a specific schema, and is not used as a "regular" backend. You'd only one backend (the BIND backend). In Hybrid-BIND mode, you'd need at least a "regular" database backend, in addition to the BIND backend. That database backend can / will be used as a regular database backend, following that schema etc.
If you will only have BIND-style backends, the regular dnssec BIND mode is what you're probably looking for. If you have domains in both BIND and a MySQL database for instance, you can reuse that MySQL backend to store the DNSSEC data for domains in the BIND mode. Hope this clarifies :) Kind Regards, Frank Frank Louwers PowerDNS Certified Consultant @ Kiwazo.be > On 2 Dec 2021, at 23:08, Fox, Michael E. via Pdns-users > <pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com <mailto:pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com>> > wrote: > > Howdy, > > I’d like to use BIND zone files and DNSSEC. > > I’m reading: > https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/dnssec/modes-of-operation.html#bind-mode-operation > > <https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/dnssec/modes-of-operation.html#bind-mode-operation> > > I don’t understand the difference between BIND-mode and Hybrid BIND-mode. > BIND-mode says the zone records are stored in BIND files and an sqlite3 > database is required for the keys and other DNSSEC related data. > Hybrid BIND-mode says the zone records and keying material are stored in > different backends.
