Hosted DNS service software with supported back end powerDNS or Bind
Hi,
I would like to look for solutions for hosted DNS service which can support either powerDNS or Bind server.
Web based front end with self serviced user portal where user can manage their own accounts.
Also would like to need guide on how to setup DNS server fail over setups.

You may have a look at http://www.frontrangehosting.com/anycastdns.php
How about Rage4?
I think OP wants a panel he can use to sell his own hosted DNS service - not use another's service?
Poweradmin is the only thing that comes to mind - and to the best of my knowledge that's strictly PowerDNS.
Poweradmin? you can create accounts for costumers etc.
I do it like that: own DNS servers with few cheap VPS boxes running BSD (you can run Linux of course) and Webmin as web interface.
If you want to have users to do their own domains, just create users in webmin, remove most modules excepted BIND with adequate authorizations for the users.
If it's only for few domains and non-paying users, it's not very cheap, as you need at least two VPS. Yet not very expensive, it can be done on very cheap VPS plans.
I'm not too sure if I understood exactly what you need. Are you looking for a DNS provider like dns4.pro or Rage4?
In general it's better if you use an already existing provider for such important tasks ask DNS. Always remember, if your Nameservers are not reachable, your websites, e-mails, services are not accessible by anyone.
However, if you need some kind of own panel so your clients can use it, I was coding some WHMCS plugin

may be you can run a hypervm-slave-novirtualization (dns-role) setup and use bind and bind-chroot to host your own dns system.
Probably could do this with any OnApp provider using the API and writing your own management panel for it.
Thanks all of you for the guides..
@FRCorey : i feel frontrangehosting.com is similar to what i am looking for. it is hosted DNS services. But yes it is not my requirements.. but still i would thanks you as it has good interface and good knowledge gaining on what i am looking..

@abravo : yaa webmin is very powerful tool and i m using it in my organisation since long.. infact my organization dns cluster works on webmin.. but do webmin will support self service hosted dns service kind of setup? and yaa i am not looking for any big profit company.. i have few good domains with me and want it to develop now on very small scale.. your welcome to join
mover over also if any body can put on light which would be best solution.. Bind or powerdns.. i personally like bind as i am using it since long time now.. but also have heard of powerdns a lot but not use it personally..
@pa8008: I have been exploring options re the same kind of setup. NicTool (http://www.nictool.com) looks most interesting so far as it seems to cover all options (see
comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_management_software). You will find a few other options there as well.
I am considering going with MaraDNS as an option to BIND or PowerDNS. Still undecided at this point. Any comments/suggestions pro and con NicTool and MaraDNS from anyone who has had any hands on experience are very welcome
You could do Modules Garden WHMCS plugin if you use WHMCS for billing. Then just setup a few cPanel DNS_ONLY servers on VPS's.

@pa8008 You can use the existing API from Amazon Route 53. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html
All you need to do is to create a front end.
