That doesn't work with the generic sql backend. You have to do it in the sql. I'd use a view rather than a table for records. Have it grab the values from one or more backend tables for everything other than SOA RRs, and create SOA RR rows from the data in the domains table (which should be extended to include everything in an SOA other than serial) and the largest changed_date column from that domain's RRs. Something akin to: SELECT rr.content, rr.ttl, rr.prio, rr.type, rr.domain_id, rr.name FROM rr WHERE rr.type::text 'SOA'::text UNION SELECT domains.soa_host || ' '::text || domains.soa_email || ' '::text || domains.serial AS content, domains.default_ttl AS ttl, NULL AS prio, 'SOA' AS type, domains.id AS domain_id, domains.name FROM domains; (which I grabbed from some old notes; obviously domains.serial needs to be replaced with GREATEST and a join). -JimC -- James Cloos [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
Re: [Pdns-users] Domain serial with Postgres backend
Did you make a change resulting in a modified changed-date after you changed the query to include the field? Without such change there is little reason to change the serial. Yes, I did update a couple of records on the zone so it should have a new serial. ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users

[Pdns-users] Domain serial with Postgres backend
Greetings, I am having a minor problem with PowerDNS with the Postgres backend. Before I get in to the issue, I should probably point out that our schema has been somewhat customized, and the pdns.conf file contains a number of queries to retrieve the data in the format that PowerDNS is expecting. For the most part this appears to be working well, and I can query PowerDNS from the command line and get the results I am expecting back. The issue I am having is with the SOA record, more specifically the serial number. In my SOA records I am specifying the serial as 0, which according to the documentation will cause PowerDNS to generate a serial for the domain based on the changed_date of the records. Upon reviewing this documentation, I noticed that the custom queries were not retrieving the value for changed_date, as this was not one of the 6 values required by the gpgsql-basic-query as outlined in the documentation. I added changed_date as a 7th field, hoping that it was an optional argument; however the serial for my zones is still stuck on 0. I am hoping that someone on the list has come across this issue before, and has a solution to providing the changed_date on custom queries, so that the serial for the zone is correctly calculated. Any feedback on this issue would be very much appreciated. Thanks ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
