This means that for some "IN A" record your content field has a value of 'A' instead of the dotted quad (like 127.0.0.1). > Used latest powerdns version all things are working fine and resolving but i > am not getting why i am getting this error. This check and the error message are in PowerDNS for a long time already, at least since 2006, if you're just getting it now this could either mean that the false entry in the content field is fresh or that the zone/record just started getting queries.
