Any lua scripting code out there? > A long time ago, PowerDNS had 30% of this feature - I think we called it 'URL' and not 'WR' back then. If PowerDNS saw that record, it would serve a static A record from the config. Then, you still needed an external webservice to take the requests and look inside the PowerDNS database to generate 301s. There is no suitable webserver -inside- PowerDNS for generating redirects; CloudNS also has to run a name server -and- a web server to provide this feature. If you want to build this feature, and keep all data in one place (the PowerDNS database), you could use disabled=1 records with some convenient type (TXT, URI, etc.) that your webservice can look up. You'd still need to provide A/AAAA records, or perhaps a CNAME or ALIAS to manage the IP of your webservice in one place.
