Hi, Another option is to follow the route I took, where you can add an additional field in to the database table, for a status of the domain. In your search statements in the PDNS config you can add the condition. For example, new entries are added with A for active, if you wanted to add a domain that didn't resolve you could mark the domain with H for hidden and modify the search to check that the domain/zones entries are marked as A..
I did send out an example config etc, some time ago on the list..

Is that possible? Interesting idea! An entirely empty zone would achieve most of that, consisting only of a SOA record and possibly some NS records. If you do this for the zone 'something.com', 'www.something.com' will get an NXDOMAIN. However, a query for the A record of 'something.com' with get a NOERROR with a SOA attached, which behaves almost like an NXDOMAIN in actual effect. To only blank out www.something.com, add a 'www.something.com' empty zone, which would then get the NOERROR with the SOA attached. Would this be good enough for you?
