# Namecoin pipe backend for PowerDNS There exists a [project](https://github.com/namecoin/nmcontrol) to create an all-in-one tool that can, among other things, act as a DNS server for the `.bit` zone. There is also a [tool](https://github.com/namecoin/NamecoinToBind) for offline conversion of namecoin data into BIND zone file. Unlike that, this project is a single-purpose tool acting as a (real time) bridge between [Namecoin](https://namecoin.org/) and DNS. [PowerDNS](https://www.powerdns.com/) provides a stable DNS frontend, with an easy to implement backend interface, which is used in this project. ## Status Alpha. It does not handle `SRV` records at all, does not support `delegate` (not to mention `import`), provides bogus version in the `SOA` record, and is largely untested. Try at your risk. ## Getting the Source Check the [project homepage](http://www.average.org/pdns-pipe-nmc/). Git [clone](git://git.average.org/git/pdns-pipe-nmc.git) or [browse](http://www.average.org/gitweb/?p=pdns-pipe-nmc.git;a=summary). ## Author Eugene Crosser \
