Download PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.1.3

PowerDNS is a dns server with a database as backend, which makes it easy to manage a large number of dns entries. The developers previously decided to release the two parts that make up PowerDNS, a recursor and an authoritative name server, so that they can release a new version more quickly and in a more targeted way, the developers said. The authoritative name server will only respond to a dns lookup if it pertains to the domains for which it is responsible. The developers have released PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.1.3. The changes in this release are as follows:
