<p class=MsoNormal>Hello pdns users :)<br>
<br>
I'm sorry to redig this problem but doesn't anyone resolve external CNAME's<br>
here ?<br>
<br>
<a href="http://osdir.com/ml/network.dns.powerdns.user/2007-08/msg00035.html"
target="_blank">http://osdir.com/ml/network.dns.powerdns.user/2007-08/msg00035.html</a><br>
<br>
seems to have the same problem but I did configure my recursor and when<br>
querying directly the CNAME i get an answer.<br>
<br>
I have just tried with Microsoft DNS and BIND and I don't experience this<br>
behavior, only with PDNS.<br>
<br>
I'd really like to use pdns instead of bloatted bind but not being able to<br>
resolve external cname's is a real show stopper for us.<br>
<br>
Any advice anyone ?<br>
<br>
Thanks !<br>
<br>
Alex<br>

Hello Simon,<br>
<br>
It was actually pointing towards CNAME (we used <a href="http://www.google.com"
target="_blank">www.google.com</a> for our<br>
tests) but even with a A field we have the same problem.<br>
<br>
So we have something like this :<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www3.example.com" target="_blank">www3.example.com</a> CNAME <a
href="http://something-else.com" target="_blank">something-else.com</a><br>
<a href="http://something-else.com" target="_blank">something-else.com</a> A
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<br>
<br>
Thanks !<br>

Is <a href="http://www.somewhere-else.com" target="_blank">www.somewhere-else.com</a>
a CNAME as well? We experienced an issue with a<br>
CNAME pointing to a CNAME not functioning - I am not sure if this is by<br>
design and due to rfc's but took us a short while to figure out and may<br>
assist you as well.<br>
