Hi,

We have setup a PowerDNS 3.1 server and have added a slave zone.
The master is on a windows 2008 dns.

There is some confusion with the SOA.

In PowerDNS the SOA from the slave zone has this value :

ns2.danego.net. noc.danego.net. 2010110341 28800 1800 86400 86400

We read this warning from the manual about the record types:
http://doc.powerdns.com/types.html

"...Hostnames are NEVER terminated with a dot..."

The slaved MX / CNAME records don't have this terminated dot in the database.

And when we setup a Master or Native domain we create a SOA like this
ns2.danego.net n...@danego.net 2010110341 28800 1800 86400 86400

Is it safe to use PowerDNS as a slave when the SOA isn't correctly formatted?
Is the manual outdated and are these trailing dots no longer an issue?

I just ran into the very same issue. Only in our case the (super)masters are BIND instead of Windows Server. Everything *seems* to be working just fine, but that big nasty warning does make for a nasty gut feeling. We haven't put this into production, yet. So it would be really nice if someone from the PowerDNS team (or atleast someone who knows more about that warning) could comment on this ;-)
