-PowerDNS Backend
-================
-
-.. warning:: This backend will not work with PowerDNS version 4 or greater. Use the ``pdns4`` backend.
-
-
-
-PowerDNS Configuration
-----------------------
-
-You need to configure PowerDNS to use the MySQL backend.
-
-1. First enable the MySQL backend:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    launch = gmysql
-
-2. Configure the MySQL database settings:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    gmysql-host=<host>
-    gmysql-port=
-    gmysql-dbname=<dbname>
-    gmysql-user=<username>
-    gmysql-password=<password>
-    gmysql-dnssec=yes
-    #gmysql-socket=<socket path>
-
-
-.. note::
-   PowerDNS can connect via socket or host/port.
-
-3. Configure the PowerDNS Backend using this sample target snippet
-
-.. literalinclude:: sample_yaml_snippets/powerdns.yaml
-   :language: yaml
-
-4. Then update the pools in designate
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ designate-manage pool update
-
-See :ref:`designate_manage_pool` for further details on
-the ``designate-manage pool`` command, and :ref:`pools`
-for information about the yaml file syntax
-
-4. Setup the database schema.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ designate-manage powerdns sync <pool_id>
-
-See :ref:`designate_manage_powerdns` for further details on
-the ``designate-manage powerdns`` command
-
-5. Restart PowerDNS and it should be ready to serve queries
-   using the MySQL database as the backing store.
