[Pdns-users] Weird CNAME root-referral problem

[Ask Bjørn Hansen]

Hi,

I can't get powerdns (2.9.22) to not send root(!) referrals with CNAME  
replies.  Any ideas?

I wrote it up in http://wiki.powerdns.com/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi/ticket/223

Any ideas?  The records are listed in the ticket.  dig output below.

Here's from powerdns:

And from mydns (powerdns is currently axfr'ing the zone from the mydns  
installation):
