I can add both an A record and a CNAME for the same Name, I'm not sure if this is wrong in the DNS sense, but it seems confusing to me. When I query for ALL types, both are printed. dig also shows both records when requesting "ANY", but the "host" command can't resolve the name with both A and CNAME records. It can resolve a name with just an A record. This may not be a good test, because host appears to have trouble resolving any CNAME.

[Samba] bug in samba-tool w.r.t. (sub)domains
Hi all I'm trying to import our bind dns data for our domain into samba4 using sambatool. Unfortunately, our domain has lots of (unnecessary) subdomains, but that's hard to revert after a long time. So I will have to parse the bind data and do a zonecreate for each subdomain that comes out of bind. I can deal with this, but it's cumbersome :-( The bug I'm talking about is this, when I was trying to add a subdomain, I found that samba4 retains a trailing . (dot), the root of the fqdn tree, which is usually omitted. To make this even weirder, I can add foo.bar.com and foo.bar.com. and both will be listed as pszZoneName when asking samba-tool for "dns zonelist localhost". This is treated by samba as a different subdomain, so when I add "x.foo.bar.com" and I later query the address for "x" in subdomain "foo.bar.com.", I get an exception. (Which is also ugly, I'd rather get a nice error message and proper exit code). In bind's zone files, these entries look like: $ORIGIN bar.com. x.foo IN A 1.2.3.4 or $ORIGIN foo.bar.com. x IN A 1.2.3.4 regardless of whether I query for x.foo.bar.com or x.foo.bar.com. I expect the same answer. But in the zone files, the trailing dot is mandatory to indicate where the root of the tree starts (without the dot, the $ORIGIN is appended for the full name) my samba-tool version is: 4.0.5-4.el6.1 Cheers Simon -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
