[Pdns-dev] SOA Question

[Bob Weaver]

I'm in the process of creating a backend which pulls data from an existing
database. The database is currently used by an existing dns server which is
being obsoleted.

In the following there is a difference between the way the two servers
respond to a request for SOA of foo.bar.com where bar.com exists and
foo.bar.com does not. Specifically, the "old" server gives bar.com as the
answer name while pdns gives foo.bar.com.

Query: foo.bar.com. SOA


The Old Server:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: Query, rcode: NoError, id: 10043
;; flags: AA QR , QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 5, ADDITIONAL: 5
;; ANSWERS:
bar.com. SOA ns1.example.com. whome.example.com. 2002050701 10001 1801
604801 181 TTL=1800

PowerDNS:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: Query, rcode: NoError, id: 10043
;; flags: AA QR , QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; ANSWERS:
foo.bar.com. SOA ns1.example.com. whome.example.com. 2010 10800 3600 604800
3600 TTL=3600

Which, if either of those is correct?

Is PDNS incorrect and is it most likely an issue with my backend?

Tia!
