[Pdns-users] Record delegation to 3rd party NS

[ivan_i at vvpgroup.com]

Hi Aki and James,

Yes, now jabber.vvpgroup.com works, but that's because I've rolled back to old BIND9 installation.

If you do "dig @212.47.212.211jabber.vvpgroup.com" you will see the real sad picture.

It looks like gMySQL backend does not support record delegation to 3rd-party NS at all.
I mean gMySQL backend can resolve only its own records, if record is outside MySQL, it will not be 
resolved by gMySQL backend.

Currently I see only one way to deal with delegated records: create a pipe backend based
"resolver" that will resolve delegated records by directly querying DynECT servers.

And James, yes, I've read documentation, my monkey-actions around zone types were
caused more by despair than by ignorance. Really :)

Thanks for a great discussion, folks!
