I haven't used this personally, but in the system tests, this works: update-policy { grant administra...@example.nil wildcard * A AAAA SRV CNAME; grant testden...@example.nil wildcard * TXT; grant "local:/tmp/auth.sock" external * CNAME; };
e.g. you need to quote the path. The documentation is silent on NAME field, but I would suggest using either * or . as placeholder.
