You configure an idn zone the same way you do for any other - so I assume your config below is correct - although the location of the master file master/umlauttestäöü.de.hosts contains non ascii char I don't think that is an issue in todays unix/linux environment. It would of been a problem in the old days.
As for you question concerning the browser converting the domain to punycode before asking a nameserver - yes that is what some browsers do. I'm not sure why because it must confuse some users when that happens. regards joe baptista On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 9:41 AM, Kai Szymanski <k...@codebiz.de> wrote: > Hi! > > One of our customers wan't a Domain with "Umlaute" (german special > characters like "ä"). > > Is it correct when i have configured the zone like > > zone "xn--umlauttest-z5a0tyc.de" { > type master; > file "master/umlauttestäöü.de.hosts"; > allow-transfer { can_transfer; }; > # allow-update { can_update; }; > }; > > and the record like > > xn--umlauttest-z5a0tyc.de.
