Hi, We know the option "export-etc-hosts=on" will export records from "/etc/hosts" to pdns recursor. But I found the records are not always available.
For example, I register a domain "test.com" whose nameserver is "ns.test.com", and the glue record for "ns.test.com" is 1.1.1.1. Now in "/etc/hosts" I have "192.168.0.1 ns.test.com". When I lookup " ns.test.com" at recursor right after recursor starts, I will get " ns.test.com IN 192.168.0.1". And then I lookup "www.test.com", the recursor will try to lookup the record from 192.168.0.1, which is what I expected. However, if I first lookup "www.test.com" after recursor starts, the recursor will finally go to 1.1.1.1 to lookup the record. At the same time, recursor will cache the record "ns.test.com IN 1.1.1.1" in stead of "192.168.0.1". Hmm, I got the option "forward-zones" just now. It's much better than "export-etc-hosts".
