[Pdns-users] geo backend to use a CNAME and A record for the same domain

Mon May 27 12:58:32 UTC 2013

We would like to experiment with a dynamic site accelerator, but only for
visitors from Australia.

If resolver IP comes from AU:

www.mydomain.com CNAME www.mydomain.com.dsaprovider.com

Otherwise:

www.mydomain.com A 123.123.123.123

It seems PowerDNS does not allow using a CNAME record and A record for the
same domain.

What is reason for this limitation?

Is there an alternative way to use the above configuration?

Thank you
Geert
