Hello all..
 
First of all, diamonds 4 ever to Bill for the outstanding work on vegadns.
 
Second, many gratz to Len for these two patches..
 
Finally here are (maybe) a list of ideas you might find relevant in order to extend the sanity checking ..:
 
- it would be great to have some options somewhere to allow only senior user to be abble to change serial/ttl infos on a domain, if wanted.
I recently had the case where some user would setup a TTL of "1" as minimum TTL and as "1" for every alias..
I doubt that's really RFC friendly..
 
- on the same idea, check if the TTL of an ALIAS is lower than minimum default TTL specified for the domain..
 
- i had the case where users thought "TXT" field ment "web redirection"... checking if any www.fooo.com or http://www.fooo.com are present in TXT fiels (thus denying them) could be great..
 
- another thing, having a CNAME as base fooo.com Alias seems to bork the dns..
means if foo.com > cname > bar.com ... problems to be expected..
whereas: foo.com > alias > ip ... no problem ...
maybe a check for having a valid IP not CNAME for default record of the domain could be usefull (also check if default A record exists)..
 
I'm sure more could be said.. i'm just throwing some ideas here ..
 
Fact is i lack the skills to provide a good robust patch.. but if you feel to add any of the previous ideas, please feel free to do so !
 
Best regards to all, take care.
 
R.S.
