[Pdns-users] Recursor : Lua & udpQueryResponse questions

Yes, 'network-timeout' is applied there as well.

There are two different parts here, the CNAME that you craft via
dq:addAnswer(), and the target of that CNAME which is retrieved via
followCNAMERecords.
The first part will not be inserted into the record cache because it
does not came from an authoritative server and thus does not go through
the regular path.
The second one, the target of the CNAME, will be retrieved via the
normal resolution process and will therefore be inserted into the record
cache.
The final response will indeed be inserted into the packet cache.

I'm afraid we currently don't provide a way to interact with the record
cache from Lua, so I don't think it's possible.
