I must admit our setup is somewhat exotic, but it might concern other configurations too.. We run mara 2.0.0.06 Win32 on Windows 2008 as an authorative server for a couple hundred domains. The zone files are exported from a SQL database and generated in the CSV1 format (because it looked simpler at first glance) I discovered when generating the records in the file in a specific order and the first A record is a wildcard record, a request to this record results in an error message from mara. Example zone file: Sexample.com.|3600|ns1... Nexample.com.|3600|ns1... Nexample.com.|3600|ns2... A*.example.com.|3600|192.168.... this record will not resolve A*.sub.example.com.|3600|10.0.... Awww.example.com.|3600|10.0.... ... I now generate the records in a different order, sorting the wildcard records to the bottom positions. All works well now.

All works well now. Hi Gerke, Thank you for your report and glad to hear that maradns works (mostly) well for your use case :-) To help find an answer to your report, can you please provide some further info? 1) Include a full csv1 file exhibiting the problem and not just a small sample like above. It is fine if you replace your domain name with example.com in it, just so we won't have to second guess if there are any other things affecting the resolving of those hostnames. The mailing list will probably erase attached files, so if you can provide it inline, that'd be great. 2) Which hostname are you looking up that exhibits this problem? 3) Which record type are you looking up that exhibits this problem? That is, are you asking maradns for the A record or the ANY record, or ...? If you don't know, the input and output of the nslookup tool used would also be of use. 4) Not sure if it is related, but do you have "bind_star_handling" set in your mararc file, and if so, to what value?

It will probably take me a couple of months to finish this process. A snapshot is here: http://www.maradns.org/download/2.0/snap/ Gerke van Duinen: I will probably not have a chance to look at your bug for a couple of months; updating MaraDNS for RHEL6 takes priority. One thing to try is the csv1tocsv2.pl tool and see if the bug is still there in when used as a csv2 zone file. Wayne: If you can't wait for me to make a binary update of Deadwood for Windows (it will take me at least a couple of months), directions for compiling Deadwood in Windows are at http://www.maradns.org/deadwood/browse-source/stable/INSTALL.txt I plan to work on MaraDNS/Deadwood again one day next month, after the 20th, unless a critical security bug is found. I will not post to the mailing list again until then. - Sam From wayne.kroncke at tiscali.co.uk Mon May 21 15:00:33 2012 From: wayne.kroncke at tiscali.co.uk (wayne at tiscali) Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 20:00:33 +0100 Subject: [MaraDNS list] MaraDNS update In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4FBA90D1.7030006@tiscali.co.uk> hi sam, installed the compiler, etc & fixed my environment variables to add the bin dirs to the path. exported the flags var (the windows command is 'set' in lieu of 'export' ;)) & ran the make. i'll add the flags var to my startup env. for future use. compiled w/o errors am running the new deadwood now, so if this email gets to you, it worked :) Best Regards, Wayne Kroncke On 21 May 2012 17:09, Sam Trenholme wrote: > ... > > Wayne: If you can't wait for me to make a binary update of Deadwood > for Windows (it will take me at least a couple of months), directions > for compiling Deadwood in Windows are at > http://www.maradns.org/deadwood/browse-source/stable/INSTALL.txt > - Sam From teamxlink at live.com Sun May 27 21:49:25 2012 From: teamxlink at live.com (Team Xlink) Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 01:49:25 +0000 Subject: [MaraDNS list] Redirecting a Domain to a Domain In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hey, I'd like to thank you very much for MaraDNS, it is very valuable to our community. The way I have it setup currently I have to manually ping 14 domains to check and see if their ip has changed, if it has I have to edit the ip used in the table. I read the FAQ but I couldn't get that to work for me. Is it possible to have MaraDNS resolve the ips for the domains itself or have it get it from another dns server without two ip addresses? Thank you
