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

[Hawara]

Hi!

I changed records like this (removed the dot at the end):

# select * from records where name  LIKE '%vh.silverplate.ru';
     id      | domain_id |         name          | type |
content        | ttl | prio | change_date
-------------+-----------+-----------------------+------+-----------------------+-----+------+-------------
 11750142919 |   1377599 | ns1.vh.silverplate.ru | A    | 5.9.116.116
         | 900 |    0 |
 11750142465 |   1377599 | vh.silverplate.ru     | NS   |
ns1.vh.silverplate.ru | 900 |    0 |

and it works:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;ns1.vh.silverplate.ru.         IN      A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
vh.silverplate.ru.      900     IN      NS      ns1.vh.silverplate.ru.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.vh.silverplate.ru.  900     IN      A       5.9.116.116

I have a question - is this a bug or a feature? Is NS record without a
dot at the end valid?
What should we do with dots at the end of records? Should we remove
all dots at the end of NS records, or from some other record types as
well?
Won`t it point to ns1.vh.silverplate.ru.silverplate.ru without dot?
