[Pdns-users] dig any and wildcard handling

[Thomas Kramer]

Hi,

we do have some problems with powerDNS and itÃ
Âœs wildcard handling (or
at least we believe so). We have two wildcard entries for every
domain. One for type A and one for MX. The MX wildcard just makes
*.domain.tld point to mail.domain.tld

I get the following result:

server2:~# dig @ns1.tmkis.de 2003.tmkis.de any

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @ns1.tmkis.de 2003.tmkis.de any
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 64070
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;2003.tmkis.de.                 IN      ANY

;; WHEN: Mon Sep 22 08:46:15 2003

No Answer here... but if I ask specifically for A record I get what I
expected:

server2:~# dig @ns1.tmkis.de 2003.tmkis.de A

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @ns1.tmkis.de 2003.tmkis.de A

Strange anyway that you cannot dig for MX....

server2:~# dig @ns1.tmkis.de 2003.tmkis.de MX

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @ns1.tmkis.de 2003.tmkis.de MX

;; QUESTION SECTION:

Any hints here?
