PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.0.x and 4.1.x support ed25519 via
libsodium and ed448 via libdecaf. You will need to compile yourself, as
our packages only support ed25519.

The PowerDNS Recursor 4.1.x supports both algorithms in the same way as
the Authoritative Server does.

SIDN (.nl) also accepts these keys. See ed448.nl and ed25519.nl.
