If you have a server running a form of *nix you can install and setup bind9. That way all you have to do is add some nodes to your zone file. No need to use bitcoin seeder.

Of course this will require manually updating your zone file to add new nodes.

Good guide otherwise.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting this. How can one check to see if it works? Are there any stats that can be read either from the directory or by sending commands to the process?

Easy way to test is to use a site like https://www.whatsmydns.net and search the A record. If its working it should display a list of your peers/nodes or you can use 'dig' if on a *nix machine.

Thanks, esotericizm - yours is an interesting approach to seeder setup and may be an alternative for people who have difficulties with the Sipa seeder.
