PowerDNS will just serve a native zone. For a master zone, it additionally sends NOTIFY packets whenever the zone is updated. For a slave zone, it will periodically attempt to refresh the zone data from a master server. (Unless master and/or slave mode has been specifically enabled in the config file, these just fall back to native mode.) >> A SOA record is required, or PowerDNS will not answer correctly for >> non-existent records. > > It affects non-existent records... I see... interesting. Asked for a record that doesn't exist, PowerDNS can answer either "I don't know anything about this" or "I'm responsible for that zone, and I'm sure this name doesn't exist". The SOA record decides which. Unfortunately, PowerDNS' behavior is not entirely correct even with the SOA record (known issue, somewhat difficult to fix, shouldn't matter in practice). _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
