[Pdns-users] Powerdns server is not passing Authority parameter

Hello,

where do you get the information from your dig-answer, that the server is not authoritative?

Best regards,
Markus

Hi,

Could you share the configuration of the PDNS Auth server please?

I have made the changes request as soon below. The server does not serve authoritative results.

    setLocal('85.10.203.183')
    setACL({'0.0.0.0/0<http://0.0.0.0/0>', '::/0'}) -- Allow all IPs access

    newServer({address='85.10.203.183:5300<http://85.10.203.183:5300/>', pool='auth'})
    newServer({address='85.10.203.183:5301<http://85.10.203.183:5301/>', pool='recursor'})

    recursive_ips = newNMG()
    recursive_ips:addMask('127.0.0.1/8<http://127.0.0.1/8>') -- These network masks are the ones from allow-recursion in the Authoritative Server

    addAction(NetmaskGroupRule(recursive_ips), PoolAction('recursor'))
    addAction(AllRule(), PoolAction('auth'))



I have tried to target powerdns directly via port 5300 but the result is the same. Any dig performed on port 5300 should be authoritative but in this case it is not.

dig @85.10.203.183<http://85.10.203.183/> gifsitebuilder.com<http://gifsitebuilder.com/> A -p 5300

These two lines together say: "for incoming queries from *any* IP addresses: send them to the recursor".
Try changing the first one to something like:
    recursive_ips:addMask('192.168.0.0/16<http://0.0.0.0/0>')   -- netblock containing your local clients
Then queries from 192.168.x.x will go to the recursor, whereas queries from any *other* addresses will go to the authoritative server.
