[Warning]Warning

As of PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.0, the LDAP backend is unmaintained. While care will be taken that this backend still compiles, this backend is known to have problems in version 3.0 and beyond! Please contact powerdns.support@netherlabs.nl or visit www.powerdns.com to rectify this situation.

[Warning]Warning

[Warning]Warning

Host names and the MNAME of a SOA records are NEVER terminated with a '.' in PowerDNS storage! If a trailing '.' is present it will inevitably cause problems, problems that may be hard to debug.
