Nginx -> Dns server?

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

I just read that nginx has a resolver.

Will it be able to replace our powerdns which just enables the basics ds
stuffs ? (lookup + ttl as usual)

I rather prefer the nginx syntax and it would simplify the stack if we
could
throw out powerdns (which is good, that is not the question).

Any clue/experience would be welcome :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Larry

Im new to nginx but a quick google search shows me configuration options
for how to resolve, rather than an implementation of a DNS server (I
assume thats what power dns is).
