HOWTO: Set Up PowerDNS with Split-Horizon Resolution

This PowerDNS reference path keeps service names stable across on-prem, Hetzner, and GCP while directing internal, public, and recovery callers to the appropriate endpoints. The HOWTO covers zone views, platform-service records, resolution checks from each network context, and API-driven DR cutover.

What this covers:

  • PowerDNS zone-view configuration for internal (private) and external (public/DR) resolution paths
  • Core platform service DNS records across both views: NetBox, Prometheus, application endpoints
  • PowerDNS API integration for automated DR record updates during failover
