[Pdns-users] Wildcard A Record Question

[Gabriel J marais]

Hi Guys

I have been trying to do a Wildcard "A" record for the past couple of days
with little success. It seems like the query takes the "*" not as a
wildcard, but an actual character, like a normal letter or numeric...

I also have wildcards=yes configured in my config file.


Can you perhaps help ? Maybe I'm just missing something stupid...

I use PowerDNS 2.9.21 with a MySQL Database

I am trying to setup a RBL-type database which would have several wildcard
entries. In my current database I have the following configured :-

mysql> select * from domains;
+----+------------------+--------+------------+--------+-----------------+--
-------+
| id | name             | master | last_check | type   | notified_serial |
account |
+----+------------------+--------+------------+--------+-----------------+--
-------+
|  1 | test.xxxxx.xx.xx | NULL   |       NULL | NATIVE |            NULL |
NULL    |
|  2 | duhl.xxxxx.xx.xx | NULL   |       NULL | NATIVE |            NULL |
NULL    |
+----+------------------+--------+------------+--------+-----------------+--
-------+

mysql> select * from records;
+----+-----------+-----------------------------+------+---------------------
-+-------+---------------------+------+
| id | domain_id | name                        | type | content
| ttl   | dateadded           | prio |
+----+-----------+-----------------------------+------+---------------------
-+-------+---------------------+------+
|  1 |         1 | 1.0.0.127.test.xxxxx.xx.xx  | A    | 127.0.0.1
| 84600 | 2008-07-14 15:29:00 |      |
|  2 |         1 | 1.0.0.127.test.xxxxx.xx.xx  | TXT  | "Test Zone 1"
|  NULL | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |      |
|  3 |         2 | 2.0.0.127.duhl.xxxxx.xx.xx  | A    | 127.0.0.2
|  NULL | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |      |
|  4 |         2 | 2.0.0.127.duhl.xxxxx.xx.xx  | TXT  | "Dynamic IP Address"
| 86400 | 2008-07-15 08:53:00 |      |
|  5 |         2 | *.0.245.41.duhl.xxxxx.xx.xx | A    | 127.0.0.2
| 86400 | 2008-07-15 09:00:00 |      |
+----+-----------+-----------------------------+------+---------------------
-+-------+---------------------+------+


Now, if I do the following queries, I get the following output :-
