How to correctly distinguish normal subrecords from country codes when subrecords are the same as country codes

[shirakun]

Hi

I looked at this sample configuration and I had a question
https://github.com/abh/geodns/blob/main/dns/test.example.com.json

When I set up the following record for example.com

{
    "": {
        "a": [
            [
                "192.168.1.1",
                10
            ]
        ]
    },
    "my": {
        "a": [
            [
                "192.168.1.2",
                10
            ]
        ]
    },
    "se": {
        "a": [
            [
                "192.168.1.3",
                10
            ]
        ]
    }
}

Attempts to request records from Sweden for example.com will return 192.168.1.3
A request from Malaysia will return 192.168.1.2

But
my here stands for myself
se here stands for Special Edition

I found other similar questions in issues

How to distinguish between geo records and normal records?

my here stands for myself se here stands for Special Edition

How so?

GeoDNS subzones are exactly this my and se, which are country codes used by Maxmind.
Are you trying to override it?

I don't know how to describe this problem in English

I don't know if you can understand him if I describe him like this

I set 3 a records

• abc.com -> 1.1.1.1
• my.abc.com -> 1.1.1.2
• se.abc.com -> 1.1.1.3

I want to:

• All regions of the world abc.com -> 1.1.1.1
• All regions of the world my.abc.com -> 1.1.1.2
• All regions of the world se.abc.com -> 1.1.1.3

Hi
geodns doesn't seem to solve this problem,when looking at the readme you will find geodns all around the geo record function
I recommend knot dns
This is the alternative to geodns that I have found so far.
knot dns is easier to configure and supports geo record and doesn't have this issue
