Hi,

I'm configuring a new anycast dns authoritative infrastructure, composed by:

 
- two Hidden Master with PowerDNS 4.5.0 with MySql backend

- four Authoritative public nameserver (NSD 4.2.4/ Knot 3.0.8)

 
At the moment the two HMs are  configured as secondary in the pdns.conf, they 
download (via AXFR/IXFR) the zones from the old dns auth infrastructure and 
they update the four slave nameservers.

At the moment the slave nameservers don't announce yet the service ip address 
specified in the glue record.

Any changes on the zones on the old dns nameservers are correctly delivered to 
the HMs and then to the slave nameservers (thanks to secondary-do-renotify 
globally enabled and also-notify that specifies the unicast ip addresses of the 
four slave nameservers).

But In this scenario I'm experimenting an unclear behavior of the "also-notify" 
 configuration parameter in pdns.conf, when i modify/add a RR on a test zone 
that is master on the HMs.

In particular the test is the following:

 
- I add the domain example.com as master on the two HM, as slave on the four 
slave nameservers.

- I modify/add one RR on the example.com on the two HMs.

 
I'm expecting that all 4 nameservers will receive on their unicast-ip address 
the notification and they download via ixfr those changes (thanks to 
also-notify configuration parameter), but pdns on both HMs doesn't send any 
notification.

In this case I force the notification with the following command launched from 
one of the HM:

 
pdns_control notify example.com

 
Is it a normal behavior of also-notify or does it depends by the configuration 
of the HMs as secondary (so the notifications will be correctly generated  when 
I’ll reconfigure the HMs as primary)? Otherwise, what did I forget in the 
pdns.conf?

 
Thanks in advance for any help

Angelo
