Interesting, but once anycast IP routing is in place, what is the advantage of ExaBGP routing vis a vis anycast DNS?

@tomle: yes, this is a viable option, thanks. While I am familiar with GeoDNS using BIND with Views, the djbdns option is new to me. I freely admit my research into this option has not been thorough e

You can get BuyVM anycast and do internal routing using ExaBGP. With this you don't need anycast DNS but you will be limited by number of their PoPs

There might be no reason for Anycast DNS as your main goal seems to be to serve the web page through the closest web server. You could use BIND with GeoIP to serve the closest web server:

Or keep the vps and use it for hosting DNS or something, or donate it to someone in need.

(1) I need my own DNS with custom CP + DB backend + tools to manage the 1000+ domains, including automated, dynamic record updates

You mention a couple of (KVM) VPS, which is a nice DNS solution, but which also hints at you having very little influence in the game.

Having 1000+ domains in play, time has come to set up own nameservers (using NSD). All 1000+ websites will be on 2 webservers (backends) in the US with Varnish frontends, initially in 7 locations (Fra

What's the easiest way to migrate my data (email / mysql / wordpress / DNS)?

RPI's and BPI's are great for smaller services, like DNS, web hosting for small sites, and alot more.

If your router supports dynamic DNS services like no-ip, dyndns, etc. you are good to go.

However, I note your last OUTPUT rule is to allow all, which conflicts with the chain default action. If you should ever misplace this allow rule from the OUTPUT chain, your server would refuse to ma

As far as DNS settings go, you just have to have your local DNS resolver respond with your local servers address. Anyone outside your LAN would get real DNS and IP info

that one needs more than a 128MB VPS for, say, a DNS server and backup MX for a couple dozen domains. And experience has shown me correct so far.

servers contact us to redirect A record in our dns for faster transition of his visitors and by the late same day when his site visitors peaks was told that that he need to upgrade to their 48 a mon

Then hit the Update button next to DNS records, what is so bad about that. By "custom DNS" I assumed you wanted to use your own nameserver.

I want to edit the DNS zone file not the NS.. hope you understand the difference..

Just click the domain on the list to view the custom DNS and nameserver.

Worst is that, there is no direct link to custom DNS (Image)
