Description Petr Spacek 2013-04-03 15:48:12 UTC

We forgot to clone upstream ticket to the Bugzilla.

Support for DNAME records is missing. The support is required for DNS 'sites'/'locations'.

The work is already done upstream.

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/63

Please add steps to verify this

Comment 2 Petr Spacek 2013-04-04 08:55:10 UTC

See the table on page 6 in RFC 6672: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6672#page-6 . The table contains all meaningful combinations and expected results.

Dictionary for RFC<->IPA terminology:
DNS zone 'example.com.' contains following DNS record:
oldname DNAME newname

1) Owner name = 'left side' DNS name in database
Owner name in the example above is 'oldname.example.com.'

2) Target = 'right side' DNS name in database
Target in the example above is 'newname.example.com.'

3) QNAME (query name) = name requested by DNS query (during the test).
E.g. command "dig somename.example.com." produces query with QNAME = 'somename.example.com.'

4) QTYPE (query type) = record type requested by DNS query (during the test).
E.g. command "dig somename.example.com. -t DNAME" produces query with QTYPE = DNAME, command "dig somename.example.com. -t TXT" produces query with QTYPE = TXT.

5) Result = CNAME record produced by DNAME substitution (i.e. owner name present in query name is substituted by target). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record#DNAME_record and RFC for details.

Names on the 'right side' are subject of normal DNS expansion, i.e. zone origin is appended to names without trailing dot. Names with trailing dot are left intact.

Replying to question how to test this (received via e-mail):
Please create a zone and add records to it as described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record#DNAME_record . Then verify that the results match description in the Wikipedia article.

Comment 5 Petr Spacek 2014-02-06 09:42:24 UTC

Some other examples are on http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6672#section-6 .
