Hey all,

Iam trying out the geobackend available by default in latest powerdns
(http://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/pdns-2.9.20.tar.gz). Installed
using './configure --prefix=/usr/local/powerdns --with-module=geo'

geo backend related settings in pdns.conf is as below..

launch=geo
geo-zone=geo.xxxxxxxx.com
geo-soa-values=gns1.xxxxxxxx.com,abuse at xxx.xxxx
geo-ns-records=gns1.xxxxxxxx.com,gns2.xxxxxxxx.com
geo-ttl=300
geo-ns-ttl=300
geo-ip-map-zonefile=/usr/local/powerdns/etc/zz.countries.nerd.dk.rbldnsd
geo-maps=/usr/local/powerdns/etc/geo-maps

geomap file is

# cat /usr/local/powerdns/etc/geo-maps/www

$RECORD www
$ORIGIN iso.xxxxxxxx.com.
#us
840 us
#in
356 in
0 geomain.xxxxxxxx.com.

When i query this DNS server from a Indian or US location, below is
what i get in the pdns_server foreground console..

Sep 04 08:31:47 [geobackend] Serving www.geo.xxxxxxxx.com CNAME
.iso.xxxxxxxx.com to 203.199.xxx.xxx (356)

If I query this DNS server from a europeon location then i get the
default RR properly..

Sep 04 09:00:45 [geobackend] Serving www.geo.xxxxxxxx.com CNAME
geomain.xxxxxxxx.com to 85.17.xxx.xxx (528)

Any ideas how to fix this ?

TIA
Dushyanth
