DNS – Slave zone part two

[galladon]

Sorry, didn’t include this in the earlier post.

The other DNS problem I am having is with wildcards. I have two records that need to use wildcards. The entries on the primary server are:

*.alice CNAME alice.dvc.edu.
alice A 192.235.0.3

and

*.bookcenter CNAME bookcenter.dvc.edu.
bookcenter CNAME diablo.thecampushub.com.

This transfers to the slave as:

$ORIGIN dvc.edu.
alice A 192.235.0.3
$ORIGIN alice.dvc.edu.
* CNAME alice.dvc.edu.

and

bookcenter CNAME diablo.thecampushub.com.
$ORIGIN bookcenter.dvc.edu.
* CNAME bookcenter.dvc.edu.
$ORIGIN dvc.edu.

Again, this might be a configuration issue but it seems odd that the slave can resolve queries like test.alice.dvc.edu properly, but the master does not.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have realized that the dns web interface of Zeroshell does not manage the willcard * in the correct manner. I will try to correct this problem as soon as possible.

I don’t mean to be a bother, but I’m trying to phase out an existing server as soon as I can in favor of your product (which I think is great), so do you have an estimate of when you will correct it, and will it be a patch or a new revision?

Thanks for your time.

Let me think about your questions.
