Is djbdns right for me?

I'm setting up a service where I will host several different domains. When a new domain wants to host on my site I want them to point to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. All domains that I host will be available on my N hosts 1.1.1.1 - 1.1.1.N. - When foo.com decides to host with me I need to manually add the following lines to the djbdns data file .foo.com::ns1.mydomain.com:259200 .foo.com::ns2.mydomain.com:259200 This format is frowned on but it seems the only way to allow me to have 1 set of nameservers for several domains. - Then I add alias N * 2 times (do I need both lines or will *.foo.comlines do the trick?) ./add-alias foo.com 1.1.1.1 ./add-alias foo.com 1.1.1.N ./add-alias *.foo.com 1.1.1.1 ./add-alias *.foo.com 1.1.1.N - run make and then the owner of foo points to my nameservers ( ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com) Is djbdns right for what I am trying to do? One more wrinkle.. I plan on running these servers in the cloud either on slicehost or aws. The IP addresses already have in-addr pointers assigned (as far as I can tell) nslookup 67.23.34.123 Non-authoritative answer: 123.34.23.67.in-addr.arpa name = 67-23-34-123.static.slicehost.net. is this an issue? And one final cloud question.. I usually disable root login on my cloud hosts, for now I changed permissions on /service/tinydns/root/data.cdb so I can rsync as a different user. Does anyone else have suggestions on how I might do this differently? Thanks in advance for any responses! Tony Primerano
