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 supports a large number of backends. These backends can either be plain zone files or be more dynamic in nature. Please see the online documentation 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 dae- mon, or in the foreground. --guardian Run pdns_server inside a guardian. This guardian monitors the per- formance 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 log- ging 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.
