[Pdns-users] PDNS and Isilon Smartconnect Delegation

[Ian Easter]

Recently switched from BIND9.7.3 to PowerDNS and working through some
adjustments.

We previously followed the guidelines for DNS based on the documentation:
https://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/white-papers/h8316-wp-smartconnect.pdf
and everything worked without issue.

Translating that to PowerDNS seems to be a bit more challenging at the
moment.

Adding the same records to PowerDNS are just returning the Isilon SIP A
address record IP rather then the round robin IP address from the Isilon
SIP.

At this point, I'm either looking in the wrong place, wrong keywords, or
just simply not understanding why this isn't working.

I did find an old thread regarding this matter but it did not seem to end
with a resolution.  I had also ran down another thread regarding a similar
matter which started leading me toward needing to look at configuring
pdns-recursor for this but I can't get anything to work on either front.

Greatly appreciate any assistance.

Current records set on PowerDNS (as they worked on BIND)
isilon-nfs              NS      isilon-nfs-sip
isilon-nfs-sip          A       192.168.64.70
