[Pdns-users] External CNames

Fri Mar 5 10:34:58 UTC 2010

Hello all,

I checked this in with our PDNS

if we have an external CNAME then we have to write the content with a dot in the end,
for internal cnames this doen't work there you must write the content without a dot.

Can anybody confirm this behaivor ?

Regards
Marco
