Hi all:

Is very simple to change bind/powerdns configuration to peer with 
EmerCoin, just follow the Bind DNS proxy section at:
http://emercoin.com/DNS_and_Name-Value_Storage

a) For powerDNS just change the forward-zones-file parameter in the 
recursor.conf with this:
forward-zones-file=/etc/powerdns/forwards.txt

and forwards.txt should have something like this:
emc=162.243.120.221,95.85.37.154
coin=162.243.120.221,95.85.37.154
lib=162.243.120.221,95.85.37.154
bazar=162.243.120.221,95.85.37.154

b) For bind you can add zones as forwards like emercoin documentation or 
as static-stubs like this:

zone "bazar" in {
    type static-stub;
    server-addresses {
        162.243.120.221;
        95.85.37.154;
    };
};
... same for the other 3 TLDs ...


It is important to note
1) EmerCoin uses a descentralized-DNS subsystem (included in each wallet)
2) There is no SOA record because no one has the authority
3) There is no master-slave configuration type
4) Zones can be delagated with proper NS record, but If using wallet as 
recursor, domains must be created with the ...SD=www,mail... value

Tier-1: NS10 (ns10.opennic.glue   188.226.146.136) is now resolving 
emercoin domains for all whitelisted IPs in opennic.
