NAME

6       nproxy - DNS notification proxy
7

SYNOPSIS

9       nproxy --powerdns-address ADDRESS [OPTION]... ADDRESS...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       nproxy  is a simple daemon that reads DNS NOTIFY queries on one address
13       and forwards them to an 'inner' nameserver that will process the  noti‐
14       fication.
15
16       Its  usecase  is  e.g.  a  private authoritative server inside a NAT or
17       firewalled LAN where nproxy is deployed in the DMZ.
18
19       The PowerDNS Authoritative Server  has  the  trusted-notification-proxy
20       option  that  should be set to the address set with --origin-address to
21       accept these proxied notifications.
22
23       nproxy  also  has  a  health-check  option  built  in.  A   query   for
24       'pdns.nproxy.'  with QType 'TXT' will be responded to with an answer of
25       "OK" (inside the TXT  record.  When  the  query  is  for  an  A-record,
26       '1.2.3.4.' is returned.
