Hi everyone 🙂 First thank you very much for the superbe piece of software you are building. I’m discovering all the very exciting features, and i really enjoy everything rancher provides. The only thing i cannot find is a private DNS provider for internal use in a company. What i need would be a private DNS server like bind9, that makes the same thing you did with the external dns services (wich are great by the way) So i was thinking about creating a bind9 service, with a rest api to add / remove subdomains (based on the same idea as [https://github.com/ajclark/bind-restapi](https://github.com/ajclark/bind-restapi)) and add a provider in [https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/tree/master/providers](https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/tree/master/providers) to make it available. So would this be ok, or did i miss something and such a feature is already available ? Thank you. ---

There is not anything like this today and would be a useful addition; other people have asked about it. The external-dns integration is pretty straightforward. The harder part will be if you want to make a template for deploying bind and particularly making it fault-tolerant/scalable past one container ---

seems no so hard to add a another provider like this. We are also interested to make either stock dynamic DNS updates or something works with delegation or a API you mentioned. ---

@hwinkel if you like etcd [https://github.com/skynetservices/skydns](https://github.com/skynetservices/skydns) would probably work well. Our internal DNS is based on the same underlying library (`mikeg/dns`) for all the low-level protocol. And a proper etcd installation would provide the fault-tolerant store and API for external-dns to manipulate. @ragaar Not really the same thing… external-dns creates actual DNS records which work for services that aren’t http-based. ---

@vincent May I have an api list of external-dns must have, to evaluate the local DNS provider? ---

@Ryan.Cui not sure if I understand what you’re asking, but the interface for an external-dns to implement is [https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/blob/master/providers/provider.go#L10-L16](https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/blob/master/providers/provider.go#L10-L16) ---

Has anyone got this working? I would really like to see this feature, in my set up i don’t want to use an external dns service as everything accessed will be via local subnets ---

I have done a first draft for a bind9 provider with a rfc pr at [https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/pull/35](https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/pull/35) ---

How does this work with rancher? I created an environment with VXLAN and BIND9 (which is from your repo) If i start a service in this env + stack, the FQDN is not set in the API. I’ve read the external DNS manual with AWS but it doesn’t tell me how to do it with BIND9
