[Pdns-users] CNAME/Wildcard issue fixed (I hope)

[bert hubert]

Hi people, Andreas, Wiebren, Robert, Guenter, especially,

I spent some hours debugging the CNAME/Wildcard issue described in:

http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2005-January/002088.html
http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2005-January/002089.html
and
http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2004-September/001890.html

The problem was that in zones like these:
 test.nl.                 3600    IN      SOA     ns1.dns.nl. hostmaster.dns.nl. 2004091500 10800 3600 604800 3600
 localhost.test.nl.       86400   IN      A       127.0.0.1
 test.nl.                 86400   IN      MX      10 mail.test.nl.
 test.nl.                 86400   IN      NS      ns1.dns.nl.
 mail.test.nl.            86400   IN      A       4.3.2.1
 test.nl.                 86400   IN      A       1.2.3.4
 test.nl.                 86400   IN      NS      ns1.dns.nl.
 *.test.nl.               86400   IN      CNAME   test.nl.

The lookup for 'mail.test.nl CNAME', should *not* return the CNAME *.test.nl
record, as there *is* an A-record for mail.test.nl.

I've verified that the problems reported there have been resolved, and the
expanded regression tests find no problems either.

To test, please download http://ds9a.nl/pdns/pdns-2.9.19-svn-2.tar.gz

Many thanks to the people mentioned above for debugging this problem
previously.
