John Carr created LIBCLOUD-259:
----------------------------------
Summary: Documentation not clear about what values DNS providers
take
Key: LIBCLOUD-259
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-259
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Bug
Components: DNS, Documentation
Reporter: John Carr
I'm currently both working on a script that uses the DNS feature of libcloud
and also implementing the missing parts of the Route53 driver.
Based on reading the docs and API reference i'm having a hard time figuring out
what values are acceptable.
I initially assumed that if i wanted to created www.example.com on a zone
called example.com then my call to create_record would pass "www". However,
Route53 only takes "www.example.com." and I wanted to check my assumption.
As far as I can tell from the upstream docs, linode can take both the FQDN and
short "hostname" forms. And AFAICT, zerigo expects the short form.
So I adapted my AWS driver to append ".example.com." to whatever is passed to
create_record. However list_records (which was already implemented by other
contributors) is returning the FQDN form. So should i be strimming the zone
name off the end of records it returns?
Restating this a little: Which of the following forms should create_record
accept?
www
www.example.com
www.example.com.
And when I then call list_records(), which of these should I see as the name
property in the list of objects returned?
What in the case of the FQDN example.com? In that case hostname is '' (in bind,
i believe this is represented by '@'.
