I've observed the following (in 1.13.1-1ubuntu5.2):
dns:
host1.dom.nl. CNAME host2.sub.dom.nl.
sub.dom.nl. NS ns.dom.nl.
ns.dom.nl:
host2.sub.som.nl. A 1.2.3.4
config:
local-zone: "sub.dom.nl." transparent
local-data: "host2.sub.dom.nl. A 8.9.10.11"
when i query host1.dom.nl with dig i get:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
host1.dom.nl. CNAME host2.sub.dom.nl.
host2.sub.som.nl. A 1.2.3.4
what i would have expected:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
host1.dom.nl. CNAME host2.sub.dom.nl.
host2.sub.som.nl. A 8.9.10.11
It looks like the local-data 'intercept' only occurs on the query, and not in the recursion stage.
Is this as designed? a bug? fixed already?
Thanks,
Simon
