Hello Selfhosted community!
I know not many folks actually host their own DNS, but for those that do: do you use any hosted secondary DNS servers? Meaning delegating slave servers.
What features would you be looking at in such a service?
Reason asking: I am looking to build a free service that would allow users to register their zone , choose geographic location and our servers will do the secondary part for it. Though limited on a free tier - say 1-3 zones (domains).
It will include a management panel.
Edit: Currently the Name Servers do support DNS over TLS/QUIC/HTTPS.
Thank you! What would such a competitive amount would be? 2 per each region covering east and west? or something more distributed such as 1 in a radius of 1,000km?
Regarding the original post, yours seems a commercial case, which probably will not be supported at the start.
I certainly don’t need anything as robust as 1 per 1000km. I currently utilize ClouDNS as my main slave DNS provider. ClouDNS give me POPs in the capital city of every economically-relevant country.
I don’t necessarily need something that robust for a backup slave provider. Something like 2 POPs per continent would be more than enough, say South Africa, North Africa, Sydney, Singapore, 1-2 in Europe, 1 in JP/KR, 2 in USA, and one in South America.
That should give decent-enough coverage.
