[Pdns-users] Glue-Records in PowerDNS 3.x

Hello,

>> domain.com and www.domain.com resolve as expected in both releases. When queried for www.sub.domain.com, in release 2.9.21 PowerDNS responds with 3.4.5.6 . In version 3.1 it doesn't find a A record.

well, we haven't started PowerDNS with DNSSEC yet. We explicitly started 
it without, because otherwise we would have had to create keys and sign 
the zones. The behaviour is still the same. So having NS-records at 
subdomains of a zone definetely means, that subdomains of this subdomain 
in the same zone are ignored? I guess then it wouldn't help us if it can 
be corrected somehow without DNSSEC; because sooner or later we'll be 
providing DNSSEC as well and then we're going to have the same issue again.

I can't reproduce that with a minimalistic record set for some reason, 
maybe other circumstance led to that behaviour.

Kind regards
Marten
