From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: The DNS configuration tool is limited and does not allow for manual named entries where needed such as a wilcard A record. Manual entries are blown away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-bind-1.8.1-18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) There is no ability to insert wildcard A records for cases where virtual pages are involved. The insertion of the wildcards '*' is not permitted in the textbox. Manually adding the wildcard A record will be blown away by the tool as it does not recognize manual additions. Example: *.autodice.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <== cannot add via DNS Tool 2) Entries manaully added to the /etc/named.custom file does *not* appear in the DNS tool. Why? These were manually added because again, there was no ability for me to add an extra line: Example: zone "xxxx.com" { type master; file "xxxx.com.zone"; allow-transfer { xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1; }; <== cannot add via DNS Tool }; Fortunately, manually adding this was preserved and not blown away by the DNS tool. Actual Results: 1) DNS Tool blows away manual settings in the ZONE files 2) DNS Tool does not blow manual settings in the named.custom file Expected Results: 1) Manual additions to the zone or other related files should be preserved if the tool itself cannot add it itself or otherwise there should be a file for manual addtitions so that the tool will add them in.
