[Pdns-users] How to make Authoritative work?

[jrd-pdns at jrd.org]

D'oh, my bad.  That must have fallen into my spam trap and I missed
it.

Do you want the entire contents of the DB for that zone, or just a
subset like the SOA and records talking about that host?  Do you want
it in sql format or zone format?

What I'm hoping for is a recipe:  "pdns looks for a valid SOA naming
the local host, and A record for itself, and [fill in the blank].  If
those conditions are met, it will conlude that it's authoritative".

I'll collect that stuff up.  Thanks!

           Hi all.  I know this is a bit of a newbie question, but it seems to be
           stumping me.
       
           I've just set up a new pdns server.  pdns 4.5.1.  I populated its DB
           with a bunch of test records.  I gave it an SOA saying it's the
           authority for my zone.  Made sure the hostname and IP address match
           the local configuration of the machine.
       
           When I query it with (for instance) dig, it returns all the correct
           data, for the SOA or any other of my test records, but it doesn't set
           the AA bit.
       
           What are the criteria which have to be met, in order for pdns to say
           "Yep, I'm the authority for this domain" ?
       
           TIA . . .
