Full ACK, but in this special case, pdns already IS actively correcting the answer with normal queries; so one should think this to be the case with *any* methods of accessing data through pdns; or at least coherently not work around this error anywhere. Or log it, for logfile-monitoring to find it and trigger human corrective labour ;-) > And therefore our position remains that bad data in leads to > bad data out. > Please don't do it ;-) *No one* does do it *intentionally*^^ (OK, me, to reproduce the behaviour, but that doesn't count. Or at least, I don't cont this in.) kind regards, Sebastian -- Sebastian Posner Unix-Systemspezialist Deutsche Telekom AG, Products & Innovation "Es hat einmal einer gesagt, das geht nicht.
