    I'm working on a multi-server deployment using powerdns for the name servers (Ubuntu 24.04). And have found that the following just installs bind without asking for a preference. I didn't find a list of flags which may have helped indicate a preference to use powerdns rather than bind:
    Code:
    wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --no-web --no-mail --use-php=system --interactive
    So switching to using autoinstall.conf.php, I got everything running, but only after manually upgrading the powerdns database format. and renaming the generated `pdns.local` to `pdns.local.conf`.
    Navigating to Server config >> DNS, I see that all the options are for BIND, and not powerdns. Is this expected and should I just ignore the settings here or have I missed a step somewhere?
