Technitium DNS Server v13 Released!

I am happy to announce the release of Technitium DNS Server v13, a cross-platform, free, open source software that can be used by anyone, be it a novice or an expert user. It features an easy to use web based GUI and works with default config that allows the server to run out-of-the-box.

This major release adds support for Catalog Zones which allows automatic DNS zone provisioning to one or more secondary name servers. This allows you to have clustering support for the Zones section of the DNS server where you can add Primary, Stub, or Conditional Forwarder zone to a catalog and their respective secondary zones would get automatically provisioned on all the secondary DNS server running Secondary Catalog zone for the same catalog.

Another exciting update is with the recursive resolver that now supports concurrency allowing it to query more than one name server at a time. The resolver will select the fastest, DNSSEC validating response, and use it for further processing. The resolver also implements latency based name server selection algorithm that will measure latency and always select the fastest name server or forwarder. Both these concurrency and latency based server selection combined has significantly improved resolution performance.
