[Pdns-users] pdnsutil load-zone and ALIAS records

[Markus Ehrlicher]

Okay, I can confirm this behavior:

mysql> select * from records where type ="ALIAS" AND name="provider.com";
+-----+-----------+--------------+-------+--------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
| id  | domain_id | name         | type  | content            | ttl   | prio | change_date | disabled | ordername | auth |
+-----+-----------+--------------+-------+--------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
| 146 |         7 | provider.com | ALIAS | cms.example.cloud. | 10800 |    0 |        NULL |        0 | NULL      |    1 |
+-----+-----------+--------------+-------+--------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+

When I edit the zone (and add a record for testing), pdnsutil recognizes no errors/warning. Only if I check the zone, a warning appears:

root at markusehrlicher:~# pdnsutil edit-zone provider.com
May 16 11:30:39 [bindbackend] Parsing 0 domain(s), will report when done
May 16 11:30:39 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0 removed
Checked 10 records of 'provider.com', 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Detected the following changes:
+test.provider.com 3600 IN A 10.10.10.10
(a)pply these changes, (e)dit again, (r)etry with original zone, (q)uit: a

root at markusehrlicher:~# pdnsutil check-zone provider.com
May 16 11:31:11 [bindbackend] Parsing 0 domain(s), will report when done
May 16 11:31:11 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0 removed
[Warning] Parsed and original record content are not equal: provider.com IN ALIAS 'cms.example.cloud.' (Content parsed as 'cms.example.cloud')
Checked 10 records of 'provider.com', 0 errors, 1 warnings.

Hi,

yes in 'pdnsutil edit-zone' I did not see the dot. Just in the database
table. Should have written that.
When I tried to edit the zone with pdnsutil it gave me an error on
saving. When I deleted the dot from the record in the database it was ok.

Regards,
Thomas
