[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Delegation (SmartConnect Isilon)

[Drew Decker]

** This time I'm replying to all - sorry **

John,

Thanks for the response.  They are internal nameservers, so you won't be
able to query them. Let me send you some configuration data:

allow-recursion=0.0.0.0/0
launch=gmysql
gmysql-host=z.z.z.z
gmysql-user=pdns
gmysql-password=pdns
gmysql-dbname=pdns
local-address=x.x.x.x
log-dns-queries=yes
logging-facility=0
loglevel=9
recursor=y.y.y.y
module-dir=/usr/lib64
socket-dir=/var/run/pdns-server
setuid=powerdns
setgid=powerdns

As for the items created - our main zone is "lab.domain.com"

dig @pdns01 lab.domain.com axfr
---- filtered out for just the two items ----
labisilon.lab.domain.com. 900 IN NS lab-isilon.lab.domain.com.
lab-isilon.lab.domain.com. 900 IN A w.w.w.w

The above output is from the axfr from dig.  As for the MySQL records:

id domain_id name type content ttl prio change_date
75732 261 labisilon.lab.domain.com NS lab-isilon.lab.domain.com 900 NULL
1386183853
75733 261 lab-isilon.lab.domain.com A w.w.w.w 900 NULL 1386183853

And when I try to ping the record:

ping labisilon.lab.securustech.net
ping: unknown host labisilon.lab.domain.com

Let me know your thoughts.
