GUI configuration utility for NSD DNS nameserver

NSD

Good day from Singapore,

Is there a GUI configuration utility for NSD DNS nameserver? I would
like to be able to configure the DNS server, zone files and DNS
records using GUI like what we do for the DNS server in Windows Server
Active Directory Domain Controller. I am used to using the GUI
configuration interface.

Thank you.

Hi Turritopsis,

NSD does not have any graphical interface, and as far as I am aware, there are no third-party graphical interfaces that work with NSD.

You may be better off using the BIND name server, for which there exist some graphical interfaces, such as the BIND module of webmin.

Ooh, that brings back bad memories .. If my search engine works the way it
should, that doesn't seem to have seen updates since 2004; I wouldn't touch
that with a fiftythree meter pole.

I would strongly recommend, particularly for NSD which has a relatively simple
configuration file, to invest a bit of effort in understanding its syntax and
then hand-crafting it. I feel that's much easier than having to cope with a
(possibly whimsical) Web-based UI.
