In PTR(RR) records SOA bug

[mike2m]

Hi,
please fix bug in PTR(RR) records SOA:

x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA pd.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. root.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. (
2015021600 ; Serial
15m ; Refresh
1h ; Retry
1w ; Expire
5m ) ; Negative caching of TTL

; Name servers
x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. IN NS pd.domain.ru.

Hi,

Could you please elaborate what the bug is? I'm not seeing it.

Thanks.

This bug appears when enabled Append Domain:

Serial Number Auto Generated
Master Server pd
Email Address root
Refresh 15m
Retry 1h
Expire 1w
TTL 5m
Append Domain yes

Hi,

This functionality is designed to allow the user to have the domain name automatically appended to the master server and email address, so this is not a bug in itself as the SOA in your example is supported by BIND. However, even though this is not necessarily breaking any RFC's (best I can tell), reverse zone SOAs really shouldn't append the domain by best practice. I'll consider removing the option in v2.0.

Hi,
in a bind version 9.8.4 on Debian 7 such record does not pass

SOA records for reverse zones can no longer append the domain to the master server and email address. This improvement has been added to v2.0-beta2 and later.
