Hi Drew,<br>
<br>
If all you need are an NS record and an A record, PowerDNS will work just fine.<br>
<br>
If you've already created your records, please post your config, how to reproduce the problem, and any records you've already created. That way we can query your nameservers and see what's what.<br>

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