[Pdns-users] CNAME/Wildcard problem.

[Augie Schwer]

This seems to be a long standing problem with PowerDNS:

http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2005-September/002620.html

Simply put, if you point a wild card at a CNAME your sub domains may
not work as PowerDNS returns incorrect data.

If you ask for 'CNAME localhost.schwer.us' you will get the wild card
data even though there is an A record for it.

[augie at augnix ~]$ dig cname localhost.schwer.us @pdns-lab.sr.sonic.net
+norecurse +short
schwer.us.

[augie at augnix ~]$ dig a localhost.schwer.us @pdns-lab.sr.sonic.net
+norecurse +short
127.0.0.1

Interestingly enough, it looks like this was fixed in the tar ball
Bert references in the above email, as I tested it and it does not
exhibit the same behavior.
