NAME

       nproxy - DNS notification proxy

SYNOPSIS

       nproxy --powerdns-address ADDRESS [OPTION]... ADDRESS...

DESCRIPTION

       nproxy  is  a simple daemon that reads DNS NOTIFY queries on one address and forwards them
       to an 'inner' nameserver that will process the notification.

       Its usecase is e.g. a private authoritative server inside a NAT or  firewalled  LAN  where
       nproxy is deployed in the DMZ.

       The PowerDNS Authoritative Server has the trusted-notification-proxy option that should be
       set to the address set with --origin-address to accept these proxied notifications.

       nproxy also has a health-check option built in. A  query  for  'pdns.nproxy.'  with  QType
       'TXT'  will  be responded to with an answer of "OK" (inside the TXT record. When the query
       is for an A-record, '1.2.3.4.' is returned.
