<div dir="ltr">We are currently wanting to implement Isilon's SmartConnect features, which requres a delegation (NS) record to the Isilon. Unfortunately, their documentation only covers BIND and Microsoft DNS products. Is there a way to do the same thing in PowerDNS? If so, what is the correct way?<div>
<br></div><div>Per the documentation, it shows the following for BIND:</div><div><br></div><div>-----</div><div><div>BIND server: </div><div>In BIND, a new name server (NS) record needs to be added to the existing </div><div>
authoritative DNS zone specifying the server of authority for the new sub-zone. For </div><div>that, an A record must be added, specified in the NS record that points to the SIP </div><div>address of the cluster. For example, if the SmartConnect zone name is </div>
<div><a href="http://cluster.example.com">cluster.example.com</a>, the DNS entries would looks like: </div><div><br></div><div>>> <a href="http://cluster.example.com">cluster.example.com</a> IN NS <a href="http://sip.example.com">sip.example.com</a></div>
<div>>> <a href="http://sip.example.com">sip.example.com</a> IN A {IP"address} </div><div>-----</div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work on our end - it says "hostname not found" - but all other DNS records work for the parent domain on our end - it is just this one that is not working. Please let me know if you'd like me to provide more information on the setup of our PowerDNS servers.</div>
