[Pdns-users] 4th level names and SOA records

[Chris Hesselrode]

Grant,

Where are you doing your dig's from? One of your nameservers?

When doing a dig for an SOA record we get  (using OpenDNS as our resolver):

# dig SOA gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> SOA gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 65487
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us. IN    SOA

Subject: [Pdns-users] 4th level names and SOA records

Hello all,

So we provide delegation for san-francisco.ca.us. We have one users domain
(gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us) with a zone file consisting of:

gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us.        IN      NS      ns1.he.net.
gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us.        IN      NS      ns2.he.net.
gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us.        IN      NS      ns3.he.net.
gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us.        IN      NS      ns4.he.net.
gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us.        IN      NS      ns5.he.net.

At the HE servers, they have ns1.he.net. set as the soa, however, soa
queries to anything other than one of the HE servers report the soa for
san-francisco.ca.us. i.e.:
dig soa gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
san-francisco.ca.us.	259200	IN	SOA	ns1.sonic.net.
hostmaster.sonic.net.
2011061002 3600 300 1209600 3600

and
dig soa gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us. @ns5.he.net

;; ANSWER SECTION:
gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us. 86400 IN SOA	ns1.he.net.
hostmaster.gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us. 2011070500 10800 3600 604800
86400

It appears that we since we are responding with the aa bit for
san-francisco.ca.us. We end up responding as Authority, and the soa query
stops at us, rather then moving on to the nameservers for the domain in
question. I was hoping there is a way we can fix this and have the query
continue to the authoritative name server. Thank you in advance for any
advice.
