About:
pdnsd is a Proxy DNS server for Linux and FreeBSD that is designed to cope with unreacheable nameservers (e.g. because the dial-in link is not up) in a graceful manner to prevent DNS-dependent applications like Netscape from hanging. It has a permanent disk cache and supports parallel query and a wide variety of link uptests. It also has the ability to serve some local records.

[»] Feature Request.
by Flavio Visentin - Dec 15th 2007 15:01:10

Hi. I use pdnsd since 2003 and I'm really satisfied with it. Unfortunately it lacks one feature I really miss. I'd like to be able to serve TXT records. I think it's not too difficult to add this feature, but I'm not a c developer so I'm not able to write the feature by myself.
Actually TXT Records are widely used, and having pdnsd able to serve them can save me from install bind in a lot of lan

[»] Debian bugs fixed ?
by Frédéric L. W. Meunier - Jan 19th 2002 08:24:05

I'm not a Debian user, bot noticed some bug reports here. Does this version fix them ? I'd like to give it a try.

      I cannot reproduce #102460, #101159 and #96386. #93296 should be solved, since the user can specify a range of ports now. #108865 and #112203 (which are more of whish list items) are outstanding, sorry.

    The issues in question are unreproducable; in addition, I have run pdnsd through a stress test which it passed with flying colors.

    Most likely, the person who filed the bug reports had a setup which was broken in some way.

[»] Very nice...
by senelson - Jan 19th 2002 03:04:12

pdnsd is just what I'd been looking for for a while. I have a dialup box that serves as a router and DNS server to a mixed bag of Windows and Linux boxes. I'd previously been pulling my hair out trying to get internal hosts served up without querying external DNS. pdnsd solved the problem nicely, and was very easy to install.
