MyDNS - SQL-based DNS server

This is the MyDNS package.  MyDNS is a simple, non-recursive Internet
name daemon which serves records directly from an SQL database.  It
currently works with either MySQL or PostgreSQL.

This version of the MyDNS package is a development of the original one
produced by Don Moore.

This original package has a homepage on the WWW at the following URL:

     http://mydns.bboy.net/

The current package has a homepage on the WWW at the following URL:

     http://www.mydns-ng.com

There is a SourceForge project for MyDNS-ng that tracks the changes made

MySQL has a homepage on the WWW at the following URL:

     http://www.mysql.com/

PostgreSQL has a homepage on the WWW at the following URL:

     http://www.postgresql.org/

Code contributions and input are appreciated.  See the TODO file for a
list of things that need to be done.

MyDNS allows internationalization via GNU gettext.  Translations
are encouraged and gladly accepted.

If you are looking for the web interface for MyDNS, it's included in
the MyDNS distribution as contrib/admin.php.  See contrib/README for
installation instructions.

SSL ERRORS DURING "make"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If "make" fails with a bunch of SSL-related looking errors, you probably
have a MySQL client library that requires OpenSSL support.  Rerun
the "configure" script as "./configure --with-openssl" and try to "make"
again.



"ZLIB" LINKER ERRORS DURING "make"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If compilation fails with an error like "libtool: link: cannot find the
library `/usr/lib/mysql/libz.la'", this is a bug in MySQL.

If you are running MySQL 4.1, version 4.1.16 (and possibly later) is
known to have this bug.  I haven't tried version 4.1.15.  Version 4.1.14
is known to work fine.  Downgrading to 4.1.14 will work.

If you are running MySQL 5.x, I can't help you much since I don't run
those versions myself and haven't heard any other reports of the error.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-17.html says:

    "The original Linux RPM packages (5.0.17-0) had an issue
     with a zlib dependency that would result in an error
     during an install or upgrade.  They were replaced by new
     binaries, 5.0.17-1".

I do not know if that means the bug is limited to 5.0.17, or all
prior versions, or what.  Please email bboy@bboy.net if you can give me
a definitive answer to put in here.
