[Pdns-users] LUA script for primary server

I’ve since tried dnsdist and it can only spoof requests, not answers. So now I’m having a go at using a recursor in front of the authoritative server to see if I can get things working that way and this seems promising, if it weren’t for a weird error message I can’t make any sense of.

My pdns-recursor Lua script:

-- nxdomain runs after no result is found.
function nxdomain(dq)
  dquery = newDN(dq.qname:toString())
  pdnslog("nxdomain called for: "..dquery:toString())
  if dq.qtype == pdns.NAPTR then
    pdnslog("Search parent wildcard record")
    if dquery:countLabels() == 12 then
      dquery:chopOff()
    end
    if dquery:countLabels() > 9 then
      dquery:chopOff()
    end
    cname = dquery:toString()
    pdnslog("Returning CNAME for: "..cname)
    dq.addAnswer(pdns.CNAME, cname)
    dq.rcode = 0 -- make it a normal answer
    dq.followupFunction = "followCNAMERecords"
    return true
  end
  return false
end

The issue is the addAnswer line, it takes at least 2 parameters according to: https://doc.powerdns.com/recursor/lua-scripting/dq.html 
:addAnswer(type, content[, ttl, name])

But I keep getting this in the precursor logs, what on earth is the last line on about?! I can’t find anything related to this online:

Line 27 refers to `dq.addAnswer(pdns.CNAME, cname)`, is this a bug?
