DNS server with scripting

Question

I would like to know if there's any way of having a DNS server on Linux that runs a script and reply a different IP list depending on the script data returned.

I've searched Google for 'DNS server with scripting' but found nothing.

EDIT: I wanted to return a different IP list depending of the request IP and found an answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/774490/dns-resolving-based-on-client-ip and @Rex told me about GeoDNS.

I leave this open just in case someone has the 'DNS scripting' answer, for others to know.

Return the IP sorted by distance to the country of the request, @Rex but I've just found a reply. Going to add it as an answer. — Jorge Fuentes González, Sep 24 '14 at 18:28
That's perfect! Better than the other solutions. Thank you @Rex :-) — Jorge Fuentes González, Sep 24 '14 at 18:36

PowerDNS includes the ability to be extended or use various backends for data. One option is the "pipe" which will retrieve the DNS data from an external binary of your choosing.

Oh fine. In the other reply I saw that but I thought that it was only to geoip requests. Thanx. – Jorge Fuentes González Sep 24 '14 at 20:42
