Hi all
I'm trying to import our bind dns data for our domain into samba4 using
sambatool. Unfortunately, our domain has lots of (unnecessary)
subdomains, but that's hard to revert after a long time. So I will have
to parse the bind data and do a zonecreate for each subdomain that comes
out of bind. I can deal with this, but it's cumbersome :-(
The bug I'm talking about is this, when I was trying to add a subdomain,
I found that samba4 retains a trailing . (dot), the root of the fqdn
tree, which is usually omitted. To make this even weirder, I can add
foo.bar.com and foo.bar.com. and both will be listed as pszZoneName when
asking samba-tool for "dns zonelist localhost".
This is treated by samba as a different subdomain, so when I add
"x.foo.bar.com" and I later query the address for "x" in subdomain
"foo.bar.com.", I get an exception. (Which is also ugly, I'd rather get
a nice error message and proper exit code).
I think this just got fixed in master, and might be on the way to the
next 4.0.x. Can you re-test GIT master so we know if we need to look
into this more?
I'll see what I can do.
I noticed something else, which may be confusing or even wrong...
I can add both an A record and a CNAME for the same Name, I'm not sure
if this is wrong in the DNS sense, but it seems confusing to me.
When I query for ALL types, both are printed.
dig also shows both records when requesting "ANY", but the "host"
command can't resolve the name with both A and CNAME records. It can
resolve a name with just an A record. This may not be a good test,
because host appears to have trouble resolving any CNAME.
Cheers
Simon
