Highly capable, scalable DNS services

The UI is very easy to use for anyone with basic knowledge of Linux OSes or Windows systems as well! It's free which makes it more appealing than other paid solutions out there (eg Cloudflare). I'm not sure how much this impacts its ability/desire in security features but their documentation leaves something be desired when looking at some advanced settings such as IPv6 allocation etc - perhaps that was just my lack of experience using them? We're running multiple servers behind one load…

Pros
  • Easy install, configuration setup / updates from CLI interface without needing GUI tools if preferred..Fast DNS resolution times especially via "dnsmasq" implementation used by many distros these days due do speed optimizations within various layers including OpenSSL itself + caches enabled automatically upon installation.
  • Free software available under GPL2 license
Cons
  • There are troubles

PowerDNS, great tool and excellent support

I like that it is easy to use for my small network of servers (8). It works well with other products such as Bind which makes configuration easier when you have more than one server in your setup. If there are any issues - they will be fixed quickly so don't let this put off from trying out powerdns! We needed something simple yet powerful without having too much overhead/learning curve required by our users who would need little help configuring their own dnsservers if we were not managing…

Pros
  • It is a very easy product to use and also the support team is excellent
Cons
  • I would say this is more of an issue with the product documentation than the product itself
