Does anyone run the YADIFA DNS Server (https://yadifa.eu/) in production? I would be interested in stories about this piece of open source software. How widespread is it deployed?

@jpmens @bart Sadly, I think that while developed at Eurid, #yadifa is not their top priority.
Some other ccTLD registries, like CZ.NIC, see DNS software as activity diversification (and additional revenue source thanks to support).
I suppose as Eurid has to regularly compete on demanding public tenders to keep .eu, they just really focus on their core registry business.

At ZERO GmbH, we're managing a lot of #AMPS nodes (see: https://zero-iee.com/en/products/). Most of them are connected to our management VPN. Each of the nodes has a unique identifier (serial no.).

We've set up an internal DNS server that resolves their serial number-based FQDN and returns the corresponding VPN IP address. Thus it's easy to find the correct VPN and IP address to start maintenance or troubleshooting :-)

Our requirements on a DNS Server are quite low. We could have picked THE ONE, the only, the allmighty Bind DNS server - but instead we tried something different:

Yadifa. https://www.yadifa.eu
Yadifa is a less-known DNS server implementation by EURid - the nonprofit organization that powers the .eu top level domain!

We were surprised of the simplicity of Yadifa and had our DNS Server up and running in minutes! If you're looking for an easy to configure DNS server, check it out.
