NPROXY(1)                PowerDNS Authoritative Server               NPROXY(1)

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.
