My apologies for my earlier, arguably off-topic questions.
Now I have a real honest-to-goodness BIND question.
I have the following simple zone file installed as "test0.tristatelogic.com":
===========================================================================
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA server1.tristatelogic.com.
hostmaster.tristatelogic.com. (
1412047583 10800 3600 604800 3600 )
IN NS server1.tristatelogic.com.
*.colors IN A 127.0.0.2
*.jason.purple.colors IN A 127.0.0.3
; *.purple.colors IN A 127.0.0.4
===========================================================================
Note that that last line is commented out.
Curiously, when I do this query:
dig simon.purple.colors.test0.tristatelogic.com
I get back NXDOMAIN. Why?
Intutively I would have thought that this query would have been matched
by "*.colors", but the presence of jason seems to be throwing a monkey
wrench into the works for simon!
It is also rather perplexing that when I uncomment that final line,
then things seem to work as expected, i.e. the dig shown above then
matches _that_ record, and I get back 127.0.0.4 (which is indeed
what intutively _should_ happen).
There must be something quirky about the wildcard matching rules that
I'm not understanding. Why do these two rules cause something (i.e.
anything) within the colors subdomain to *not* resolve?
*.colors IN A 127.0.0.2
*.jason.purple.colors IN A 127.0.0.3
