[Pdns-users] PDNS for a TLD...

[Rob]

Hi guys,

(I'm not sure if my email reply made it out, since it's not appearing in the
archive.  My apologies if you're receiving this twice.)

I really appreciate the responses from everyone so far.  One thing I forgot
to mention is that I’m using the MySQL backend.  So, if I understand
correctly:

* We’ll need an SOA record for “foo”.  For example:
	(name, type, content, ttl) = 
	(‘foo', ‘SOA', 'ns01.dns.foo admin.dns.foo 1 10800 3600 694800 3600',
86400)


* For domains which use *custom* nameservers, we only need to include the NS
records for purposes of delegation.  For example, for “blah.foo":
	(name, type, content, ttl) =
	(‘blah.foo’, ’NS’, ‘dns01.customdns.com’, 3600)
	
	(name, type, content, ttl) =
	(‘blah.foo’, ’NS’, ‘dns02.customdns.com’, 3600)

We’ll also need glue records if the nameservers are within “blah.foo”.


* But, for domains which use *our* name servers (with a web interface for
managing records), we’ll need an SOA record in addition to NS records
pointing to our name servers.  For example, for “something.foo”:
	(name, type, content, ttl) = 
	(’something.foo', ‘SOA', 'ns01.dns.foo admin.dns.foo 1 10800 3600 694800
3600', 86400)
	
	(name, type, content, ttl) = 
	(’something.foo', ’NS', 'ns01.dns.foo', 3600)

	(name, type, content, ttl) = 
	(’something.foo', ’NS', 'ns02.dns.foo', 3600)

	And a sample record for good measure:
	(name, type, content, ttl) = 
	(’www.something.foo', ’A', ‘123.123.123.123', 3600)


Did I get that right?  Or am I more confused than ever?

Thanks!
Rob
