mysqlBind/unxsBind has been in use since the late 1990s. It initially was designed to replace perl/bash based sets of maintenance scripts that made deployment and upkeep of large DNS systems time-consuming and prone to human error.[1]

Design

mysqlBind (now unxsBind) centralizes all data in a replicated

resource records, resource records changes and zone SOA changes. This non-reliance on a live SQL database has been a major point for reliable deployment of large scale DNS services.[2]

unxsBind is based on a "Company/Organization-Contact-Role" login and permissions model, such that end user organization contacts can manage their own DNS data from a shared infrastructure. This unxsBind shared infrastructure supports an unlimited number of organizations that can then administrate their own DNS resources, such as

resource records
. unxsBind provides for the centralized management of multiple independent name servers across data center boundaries.

The unxsBind system consists of a back end (unxsBind/iDNS) interface, and several example end user interfaces: The idnsAdmin admin interface, and the end user idnsOrg and vdnsOrg interfaces. All provided interfaces run on SQL originated

IDNA
support.

Secondary and master zones, secondary-only zones, forward zones, hidden masters and hidden external master zones are all supported. Recent versions allow unlimited

LDAP
login support is provided for the vdnsOrg interface.

A

yum installable version is available. Advanced features such as HA
and LDAP single sign-on require that the system be configured and installed from source.
