What DNSs have API access? [closed]

Question

I saw this over on slashdot and realized if I could program in dns control into some of my apps it would make life a lot easier. Someone over there recommended dynect which apparently had a wonderful api. Unfortunately not a lot else was recomended. I don't know anything about managing dns servers I mostly work with the lamp stack, so on linux I understand bind is the way to go but other then a basic setup I'd be lost. I'd rather outsource the details.

What DNS services have API's and are easy to use without breaking the bank?

Answer 1

Hey I haven't used them, but Zerigo looks promising. We will probably wind up going with them if they allow enough hosts. Their API is standard REST stuff... very straightforward.

Thanks,

Answer 2

We use DjbDNS and it's backended onto MySQL so we just hit the DB to make changes and periodically rebuild the the config data.
