Hey Brandon-<div><br></div><div>I see what you're saying. For example, with your current problem, let's say you were using BIND.. in your zone file, if you had something like:</div><div><br></div><div>blog IN A <a href="http://1.2.3.4">1.2.3.4</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>You're saying that doesn't work. But when you do something like this:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://blog.mysportsite.com">blog.mysportsite.com</a>. IN A <a href="http://1.2.3.4">1.2.3.4</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>That works.. that's all you're saying, and you're trying to figure out what the issue is, right?</div><div><br></div><div>To be honest, it just sounds like a config issue. What are you using as the backend for your domains? If you're using bind zone files, you might just have a typo in your named.conf so that @ isn't being set how you want it. Do you have something like this in named.conf:</div>
<div><br></div><div>zone "<a href="http://mysportsite.com">mysportsite.com</a>" IN {</div><div> type master;</div><div> file "whatever_file.zone";</div><div> ... blah blah more here?</div><div>}</div><div>
<br>A long time back I had an issue where I had a typo in my zone definition (ie: zone "mysportsite.cpm" IN) and it was throwing everything off, because 'blog' would be interpreted as blog.mysportsite.cpm since @ is the value for whatever is named for the zone.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But, if you're not using bind files as a backend, then I don't know what to tell you- probably a similar issue. I've played around with pdns using the mysql backend too, but never for anything production- we mostly use the recursor for our environment.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Hopefully this helped out a bit- if you want I can play around with the authoritative server on my side and see if I can reproduce the issue. Care to share any more configs that could be looked at?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Chet</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 4:46 AM, Hugo van der Kooij <<a href="mailto:hvdkooij@vanderkooij.org">hvdkooij@vanderkooij.org</a>> wrote:<br>

You have to do much better then that. You need to show exactly the<br>
complete zones in questions because you now give only little pieces of<br>
information which in effect tell us nothing.<br>
<br>
But from my point of view it looks ok now:<br>
<br>
[hvdkooij@frodo ~]$ dig <a href="http://blog.mysportsite.com" target="_blank">blog.mysportsite.com</a> @<a href="http://NS1.MYSPORTSITE.COM" target="_blank">NS1.MYSPORTSITE.COM</a> a<br>

You need to clarify yourself in much greater detail if you expect<br>
further assistance here.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
