getSOA is invoked before lookup - because DNS and thus PowerDNS needs a SOA to
even consider a domain as working.
get is invoked after lookup - it is get that provides the actual content. If
you are seeing results from dig, presumably getSOA, lookup and get all work.
As for list, it is invoked for auto serial support if your getSOA does not
return a serial. It is also invoked for AXFR ('dig AXFR example.com @127.0.0.1).
Kind regards,
