Package: pdnsd
Version: 1.2.4par-0.2
Severity: important

I have my pdnsd server setup with two mx entries for a domain. Still the
server only responds dns queries with the second entry and seems to forget
about the first one:

rr {
        ttl=86400;
        #owner="ns.amps.es.";
        name="amps.es";
        mx="piano.amps.es",10;
        soa="ns.amps.es.","root.ns.amps.es.",42,86400,900,86400,86400;
}

rr {
        ttl=86400;
        #owner="ns.amps.es.";
        name="amps.es";
        mx="smtp.proyectosolidario.org",20;
        soa="ns.amps.es.","root.ns.amps.es.",42,86400,900,86400,86400;
}

but when queried:

mekas:/home/eric# host -t mx amps.es localhost
Using domain server:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

amps.es mail is handled by 20 smtp.proyectosolidario.org.


If I comment the second entry:

rr {
        ttl=86400;
        #owner="ns.amps.es.";
        name="amps.es";
        mx="piano.amps.es",10;
        soa="ns.amps.es.","root.ns.amps.es.",42,86400,900,86400,86400;
}

#rr {
#        ttl=86400;
#        #owner="ns.amps.es.";
#        name="amps.es";
#        mx="smtp.proyectosolidario.org",20;
#        soa="ns.amps.es.","root.ns.amps.es.",42,86400,900,86400,86400;
#}

I get:

mekas:/home/eric# host -t mx amps.es localhost
Using domain server:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

amps.es mail is handled by 10 piano.amps.es.
mekas:/home/eric#

AFAIR in the past pdnsd supported various mx entries. Has that behaviour
changed since then ?

  You should write your configuration like this:

rr {
        ttl=86400;
        #owner="ns.amps.es.";
        name="amps.es";
        mx="piano.amps.es",10;
        mx="smtp.proyectosolidario.org",20;
        soa="ns.amps.es.","root.ns.amps.es.",42,86400,900,86400,86400;
}

  Afaict, you can have only _one_ rr section per given "name". I tried
the setup here, and it works properly and dig MX shows both MX with the
proper priorities.

Cheers,
