[Pdns-users] Geo-backend

[Francisco Puente]

Thanks Hirantha!

I've got it half working with your comments :)

I still think I'm missing something:
=======================================================
 > www1.test.com
Server:         xxx.xxx.xxx.44
Address:        xxx.xxx.xxx.44#53

www1.test.com   canonical name = www1.geo.test.com.
www1.geo.test.com       canonical name = geo.test.com.
 > www1.test.com
Server:         xxx.xxx.xxx.44
Address:        xxx.xxx.xxx.44#53

www1.test.com   canonical name = www1.geo.test.com.
www1.geo.test.com       canonical name = geo.test.com.
 > www1.geo.test.com
Server:         xxx.xxx.xxx.44
Address:        xxx.xxx.xxx44#53

www1.geo.test.com       canonical name = geo.test.com.
=======================================================

It's getting better :)

Another thing: what happend if client coutry code is not listed in the 
zone? get's no IP at all, I've tested it.

Gan't get the IP adress yet for www1 (I'm not using www)

Ideas are VERY welcome!!

Thanks
Francisco
