Sorry, when saying lua backend I actually mean lua2backend:

pdns-backend-lua2 4.5.1-1pdns.focal

I was basically just testing my Let's Encrypt ACME-DNS verification:

https://svn.cmeerw.net/src/pdns-acme-backend/trunk/acmebackend.lua

which should just return the contents of a file as the TXT record.

Unfortunately, I was testing with a file containg "1234" - this didn't
work, but when changing the file contents to something like "A1234"
it suddenly started working.
