External DNS Integration

Integrate Bindy with external DNS management systems.

Use Cases

1. Hybrid Cloud - Internal DNS in Bindy, external in cloud provider
2. Public/Private Split - Public zones external, private in Bindy
3. Migration - Gradual migration from external to Bindy

Integration with external-dns

External-dns manages external providers (Route53, CloudDNS), Bindy manages internal BIND9.

Separate Domains

# external-dns manages example.com (public)
# Bindy manages internal.example.com (private)

Forwarding

Configure external DNS to forward to Bindy for internal zones.

Best Practices

1. Clear boundaries - Document which system owns which zones
2. Consistent records - Synchronize where needed
3. Separate responsibilities - External for public, Bindy for internal
