[Pdns-users] why different parameters syntax on forward-zones and forward-zones-file
hello there, today we have to migrate an old configuration (what was using the forward-zones-file) to a new server using the ansible recursor playbook (https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns_recursor-ansible), but some internal domains didn't worked well and after some debug we got that there is a difference using the "+" on the forward-zones and forward-zones-file. https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/settings.html#forward-zones https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/settings.html#forward-zones-file ```Zones prefixed with a ‘+’ are treated as with forward-zones-recurse. Default behaviour without ‘+’ is as with forward-zones.``` So, why this two parameters need to have different syntax (not only the +, but the use of ; and , as separator: ``` forward-zones-file = my_file.txt my_file.txt +my_domain.com=1.2.3.4,4.3.2.1 +my_other_domain.net=1.2.3.4,4.3.2.1 ``` ``` forward-zones=my_domain.com=1.2.3.4;4.3.2.1,my_other_domain.net=1.2.3.4;4.3.2.1 ``` thanks and advance -- -- Victor Hugo dos Santos http://www.vhsantos.net Linux Counter #224399 ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
