Hello,
Please pardon if this has been discussed before. A google search
didn't turn up anything relevant. Also, this is my first post on a
mailing list, so please let me know if I'm out of conduct.
I'm currently looking into PowerDNS to replace our current bind
authoritative servers, and it seems I've hit a bump along the way,
during testing.
In my test environment I'm running PowerDNS Authoritative Server
4.0.4 from the PowerDNS website, with gmysql backend. I've created the
database using the schema.mysql.sql found in modules/gmyselbackend,
and populated with an 'example.com' domain:
[powerdns]> SELECT * FROM records;
+----+-----------+-----------------------+------+------------------------------------------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
| id | domain_id | name | type | content
| ttl | prio | change_date | disabled | ordername |
auth |
+----+-----------+-----------------------+------+------------------------------------------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
| 1 | 1 | example.com | SOA | localhost
admin.example.com 1 10380 3600 604800 3600 | 86400 | NULL |
NULL | 0 | NULL | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | example.com | NS | dns-us1.powerdns.net
| 86400 | NULL | NULL | 0
| NULL | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | example.com | NS | dns-eu1.powerdns.net
| 86400 | NULL | NULL | 0
| NULL | 1 |
| 4 | 1 | www.example.com | A | 192.0.2.10
| 120 | NULL | NULL | 0 | NULL
| 1 |
| 5 | 1 | mail.example.com | A | 192.0.2.12
| 120 | NULL | NULL | 0 | NULL
| 1 |
| 6 | 1 | localhost.example.com | A | 127.0.0.1
| 120 | NULL | NULL | 0 | NULL
| 1 |
| 7 | 1 | example.com | MX | mail.example.com
| 120 | 25 | NULL | 0 |
NULL | 1 |
+----+-----------+-----------------------+------+------------------------------------------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
I wanted to test out the wildcard feature as well, since I've seen
that some domains hosted with us have wildcards created:
+----+-----------+-----------------------+------+------------------------------------------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
| id | domain_id | name | type | content
| ttl | prio | change_date | disabled | ordername |
auth |
+----+-----------+-----------------------+------+------------------------------------------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
| 8 | 1 | *.example.com | A | 192.168.2.34
| 120 | NULL | NULL | 0 | NULL
| 1 |
+----+-----------+-----------------------+------+------------------------------------------------------+-------+------+-------------+----------+-----------+------+
To find out if the wildcard is working correctly, I performed a
dig on something random:
----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------
]~$ dig +short something.something.example.com @<pdns-test-server>
192.168.2.34
]~$
----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------
..which returned the data correctly.
However, when I've attempted to perform a dig on a
subdomain.something that matches something already existent in the
list of subdomains, it doesn't return anything. For example, I already
have 'www.example.com' as an Alias to 192.0.2.10. If I query for
'something.www.example.com' I get nothing:
----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------
]~$ dig +short something.www.example.com @<pdns-test-server>
]~$
----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------
Querying without '+short':
----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------
~$ dig something.www.example.com @<pdns-test-server>
; <<>> DiG 9.11.1-P3 <<>> something.www.example.com @<pdns-test-server>

I've turned on mysql's query logging. From the logs, I can see the
following:
----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------
From what I can tell, powerdns performs a SELECT with all
mentioned labels of the domain, and proceeds in stripping the
left-most label until it finds a match. However, if it catches a part
of the domain that already exists, it doesn't match the wildcard
anymore, nor the part of the domain that actually exists, but proceeds
for looking for a 'SOA-EDIT' in domainmetadata ?
This query performs well in bind, so can anyone point if/what I'm
doing wrong here ?
Also, can anyone try to reproduce this behaviour ?
Thank you!
Best regards,
