[Pdns-users] PDNS/Win 2.9.15 not resolving CNAMEs

[domainholdings]

Interesting... this is the same DB as on Linux (we've always had this
mistake), so it does seem to point different behavior over the two
platforms, or that this mistake is forgiven in later Pdns versions.

So aside from removing the NS and SOA records for our CNAMEs, we can only
use CNAMEs for subdomains?

This line is invalid. A CNAME record must always live alone on a name, while
yours has brothers of type NS and SOA. As the SOA is required, the basic
rule is that a domain itself cannot be a CNAME.

They may be doing what you were expecting/hoping, but when you put CNAME and
other in a database together, there is no "correctly". This domain is broken
on both of your platforms until you remove the streaming.com CNAME.

Kind regards,
