My second package is [http://powerdns.com PowerDNS] , probably the fastest authorative DNS server around. It has backends for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and LDAP as well.

Another nice tool is csync2. It enables you to sync files between your machines (it uses librsync for that). It has some nifty conflict resolving capabilities as well.

Ruben Kerkhof

Hi, my name is Ruben, I'm 27 years old and I live in the Netherlands, in a beautiful town called Rijswijk. At the moment, I work as a Senior System Engineer for a large Dutch arline company, building their Linux platform.

I started with Unix on FreeBSD, but since we use RedHat on the job, I switched over to Fedora, and never looked back I'm typing this on my Macbook Pro running F-9.


My packages

Pound is the first package I maintain, it's a really cool and fast http loadbalancer. If you're looking for a reverse proxy and think mod_proxy is overkill, please give it a try.

My second package is PowerDNS , probably the fastest authorative DNS server around. It has backends for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and LDAP as well. There's also a separate recursor, but that will be another package. It's not recursive though, the recursor is packaged as a separate rpm (pdns-recursor).

Oh, by the way, I'm a RHCA 804006222819869
