The punchline on my #DNS reconfiguration is that nothing went wrong because I didn’t actually make any changes that took effect. I do a weird config to have reliable DNS:
I have a hidden master that uses dnsmadeeasy as the public servers. They answer authoritatively but they’re getting records from my #powerdns server.
Well, one problem I have is using CDNs at the apex zone. I use #AWS #cloudfront as my #CDN. This is fine when you use #Route53 as your DNS. They can put alias records in at the apex. But it doesn’t work with dnsmadeeasy secondary zones. The way I run them.
Name dot com is my registrar. They can do alias records. So I think they also do DNS for free. I’m going to migrate my Route53 zones to the free DNS instead of paying $0.50 per zone per month. All this effort will save me about $6.50/month.
