list, i am trying to setup BIND to use the DynDB LDAP backend, and have found that the $ORIGIN directive is not used or documented for use with the backend.
the use case is the for the $ORIGIN directive is to handle unqualified queries. Below is an example of what happens without the $ORIGIN directive set in a zone: [brendan@test ~]$ nslookup server 127.0.0.1 Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 ** server can't find server: SERVFAIL [brendan@test ~]$ nslookup server.my-domain.com 127.0.0.1 Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: server.my-domain.com Address: 192.168.1.1 the below is the BIND Admin Reference Manual entry for the $ORIGIN directive. The $ORIGIN Directive Syntax: $ORIGIN domain-name [comment] $ORIGIN sets the domain name that will be appended to any unqualified records. When a zone is first read in there is an implicit $ORIGIN <zone_name>. (followed by trailing dot). The current $ORIGIN is appended to the domain specified in the $ORIGIN argument if it is not absolute. $ORIGIN example.com. WWW CNAME MAIN-SERVER is equivalent to WWW.EXAMPLE.COM. CNAME MAIN-SERVER.EXAMPLE.COM. would a Request For Enhancement be needed or should a bug be filed for this missing functionality? thank you, brendan kearney _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
