Hi Elena,

Unlike our other Lua features, which are stable, supported and documented,
the PowerDNS Authoritative Prequery functionality is not.

We use the prequery script to generate deliberately broken and weird answers
for regression testing purposes.

Because of this current 'internal only' use, we may change the API of this
functionality if we need to.

However, should it turn out that there are external users of the
lua-prequery-script in production, we might change our position and document
this feature, and keep it stable.

Can you let us know?

Meanwhile, we've upgraded the documentation so it now says:

                Lua script to run before answering a query. This is a
                feature used internally for regression testing. The API of  
                this functionality is not guaranteed to be stable, and is in 
                fact likely to change. 
Kind regards,

Bert
