For me the authoritative support would be relevant. Can you please elaborate on what important thing is missing?

What's a recommended way of using your product in a redundant way? PowerDNS for example has multiple backends, what I am missing is a bind style backend that is based on JSON files and is able to reload on the fly, so that I don't have to deal with a SQL database. Is this something that could be achieved with Tenta?

Hello, PowerDNS developer here! Not trying to steal Tenta's thunder here, but you should know that the PowerDNS GeoIP backend can be used without a GeoIP database, in which case it might better be called the 'YAML backend'.

Additionally, if you file a feature request for JSON support in the bindbackend, we might consider it!

We've previously used a redis-replicated backend to powerdns. The fact that it was pluggable was awesome. We'd love to support something like that one day. For now, however, our eye is firmly on recursion. If a golang DNS server designed for anycast is something people want, we'll keep developing authoritative features. If not, we'll stick to recursion.
