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. The most important ones are: --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_control talks 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 current configuration. There are three optional values: --config=default show the default configuration. --config=diff show modified options in the current configuration. --config=check parse the current configuration, with error checking. --help Display the list of all the available options.
