[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Delegation (SmartConnect Isilon)

[John Miller]

Hi Drew,

If all you need are an NS record and an A record, PowerDNS will work 
just fine.

If you've already created your records, please post your config, how to 
reproduce the problem, and any records you've already created.  That way 
we can query your nameservers and see what's what.

John
