Not that I am able to help, but: We had some quite similar behaviour some weeks ago while testing some things. We had our two productive NS (powerdns) and one NS for testing (also powerdns). While explicitly asking the testing one which had records for a special CNAME it returned the IP resolved by a wildcard on the productive one. I also found out that if you point a CNAME to a record belonging to another domain all resolves fine as long as the "other" domain is served by the same server. E.g.: test1.mytest.com => CNAME => something.anothertest.com If there is another authoritative server for anothertest.com than the one asked for mytest.com things fail. If it is on the same and authoritative, everything works. Since we found another possibility to solve "our" problem we just asked ourselves if this behaviour is either a bug or a feature :-) Maybe somebody could explain what the idea behind that behaviour is or confirm it as a bug.

Also, I can resolve any of my A records, just not the CNAME record which is formatted as I provided earlier.

That sounds like the database itself is misconfigured. Is there anything in the system logs from PowerDNS stating that it's successfully connected to the database? What backend are you using? -- Derrik Pates [EMAIL PROTECTED]
