I am using pdns-static-3.4.4-1.x86_64, and I have a pipe backend which
modifies local records based on the clients location in the network.
This means I need the authoritative server in front of the recursor so
I can get their IP address. The backend only handles the request if
it finds an A records, otherwise it just sends END so it falls
through, and pdns itself looks up the record in the database. This
works great, but I have a problem when it comes to serving CNAMEs that
aren't local. If they are local, it works fine. For non-local
records, from what I can see, the answer comes back from the database
like server-1009579898.us-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com., then the server
loops over the answer to find everything up to .com, finds nothing in
the database, but I don't think it ever reaches out to the recursor.
It then returns nothing to the client. I suppose that makes sense as
an authoritative server, but is there any way to get this situation to
work?
Can you provide examples of output? When asked directly from AUTH
server you are supposed to get CNAME back if it's non-local.
Here are some logs from an instance of PDNS running to test this issue.
Some background on the output, our environment is fairly complicated
with many networks, which for historical reasons have a notion of
belonging to "sides". There are many duplicate host names on each side,
so the DNS database has all of them in the database under the same name
as if they were round-robin, but DNS will return the right one depending
on which network the client is in, and whether they are looking for
something on their side or not based on a variety of historical prefixes
(local, remote, side1, side2 etc.).
That isn't relevant to my problem here, but may help explain what you
are seeing. The backend also only answers for A records it can handle,
everything else falls through to a regular database lookup.
The problem comes below where the backend lets the query fall through to
the database to find the CNAME. CNAMEs which point to records in our
domain work fine, but records outside our domain fail. Below is the dig
command I ran, and the output from PDNS:
dns1.la pdns $ dig -t ANY @localhost -p 63 status-aws.domain.local
; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-18.el7_1.5 <<>> -t ANY @localhost -p 63
