PDNS_SERVER(1)		 PowerDNS Authoritative	Server		PDNS_SERVER(1)

NAME
       pdns_server - The PowerDNS Authoritative	Nameserver

SYNOPSIS
       pdns_server [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       The  PowerDNS Authoritative Server is a versatile nameserver which sup-
       ports a large number of backends. These backends	can  either  be	 plain
       zone files or be	more dynamic in	nature.	Please see the online documen-
       tation for more information.

OPTIONS
       See the online documentation for	all options

       --daemon
	      Indicate	if  the	 server	should run in the background as	a real
	      daemon, or in the	foreground.

       --guardian
	      Run pdns_server inside a guardian. This  guardian	 monitors  the
	      performance  of  the inner pdns_server instance. It is also this
	      guardian that pdns_controltalks to.

       --control-console
	      Run the server in	a special monitor mode.	This enables  detailed
	      logging and exposes the raw control socket.

       --loglevel=<LEVEL>
	      Set the logging level.

       --config
	      Show  the	currently configuration. There are three optional val-
	      ues: --config=default show the  default  configuration.	--con-
	      fig=diff	   show	modified options in the	current	configuration.
	      --config=check   parse the  current  configuration,  with	 error
	      checking.

       --help To view more options that	are available use this program.
