Do simple DNS queries work without an SOA record I wonder? The reason I ask is that I set up my own nameserver once before, years ago, which seemed (to me) to work fine, but I have no recollection of setting up an SOA record, whereas I do remember setting up NS and A records.

Again, regarding the manual, it might be worth pointing out that pdns adds trailing periods everywhere they are required. > Email should be with dots, i.e. [email protected] -> ktm.rice.edu in the record. Yes, I knew this. Odd decision that one, IMHO. For others who might read this thread in the future, I found this page very helpful: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/dnsrecords.htm Thanks again.
