Hello,
this patch fixes https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/49 ,
but I want to discuss one (unimplemented) change:
I propose a change in (currently very strange) forwarders syntax.
Current syntax:
<IP>[.port]
examples:
1.2.3.4 (without optional port)
1.2.3.4.5553 (optional port 5553)
A::B (IPv6, without optional port)
A::B.5553
::FFFF:1.2.3.4 (6to4, without optional port)
::FFFF:1.2.3.4.5553 (6to4, with optional port 5553)
I find this syntax confusing, non-standard and not-typo-proof.
IMHO better choice is to follow BIND forwarders syntax:
<IP> [port ip_port] (port is string delimited with spaces)
(From: http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/queries.html#forwarders)
*Current syntax is not documented*, so probably is not used anywhere.
(And DNS server on non-standard port is probably useful only for testing
purposes, but it's another story.)
What is you opinion?
