Hi all,

I found some time to restart building packages.
The one currently in the works is PowerDNS, as I have to get rid of DNS Server bind.
Soon you'll see pdns and pdn-recursor appearing in the SFE repository for OmniOS build 151038 and later.
Wondering why pdns? It can use plain bind zone files as well as mysql records for servicing the zones.
Additionally you can use lua with simple code snippets to solve a lot DNS problems. For instance
creating dynamic replies like switching IP-addresses when asked from inside or from outside of your network.

Hi friends of illumos!

Episode No. 2 of the podcast "friends of illumos" is out!

After a weekend packed with podcast cutting and postprocessing I finally managed to upload the new episode. I decided to give https://podigee.com a try and uploaded the new episode FOI002 as well as the older one FOI001. I think it will take a moment, until the subdomain for foi is established. You can listen or register the RSS feed here: https://foi.podigiee.io
