PowerDNS CNAME with multiple A records produces unexpected results

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – This problem from what i can tell is isolated to PowerDNS. The servers are running two packages pdns-static-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm and pdns-recursor-3.3-1.i386.rpm on the most recent version of Amazon Linux. The amazon ec2 loadbalancers are assigned a CNAME with multiple hosts. Below is an example of the actual behavior. Notice how the hosts are always in the same order. [root@localhost ~]# host cache.domain.com cache.domain.com is an alias for xxxxx.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com. xxxxx.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa xxxxx.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address bbb.bbb.bbb (HowTos)

Stories similar to PowerDNS CNAME with multiple A records produces unexpected results

I'm using amazon s3 as storage for users profile pic. I see that many websites generates large random filenames and put them into the same root directory like:

http://xxx.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/aHR0cHM6Ly9mYmNkbi1wcm9maWxlLWEuYWthb...

And my question is: What are the pros and cons of that approach?

If I pal

I am trying to setup a loadBalancer on AWS. The A-Record it gave me looks like myLoadBalancer-**********.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com however when i try to put that in my domain registrars A-Record, i get an errorIP address is not valid.

I'd like to know what my local postfix says to the Amazon SES smtpd after the STARTTLS. In plain text, so I can understand it.

CNAME without altering Apache 14 weeks 3 days ago

I have an Amazon ec2 instance with a static public IP and a public domain name assigned by Amazon (ec2-my-hosts-public-ip.compute-1.amazonaws.com. Let's call it ec2.amazon.com).

I have a domain name, example.com.

The project I'm working on requires that we mask AWS EC2 host names with our own subdomains.

For example:

ec2-176-34-163-40.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com would map to gf53ef.domain.com

and

ec2-123-31-124-60.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com would map to sdfrh5.domain.com

There will always be list available that stores the relationship between the domains.

Hi,

I'm installing a DHCPD Server with the packages from a distro SLES11 SP1 (dhcp-server-3.1.1-7.12).

And a DNS Server with PowerDNS:

pdns-recursor-3.3-1 pdns-static-3.0-1

The DHCP update de DNS Server, but PowerDNS is not RFC 2135 compliant, and I have to update the MySQL register from PowerDNS with a script, when the leased is changed.

This event is reached with the DHCP event managed in..

I'm wondering if it's possible to alias one domain for another at the server configuration level in a similar way that you can alias a domain to an IP address in the /etc/hosts file.

This is on a flavor of RedHat Linux.

I thought this would be simple to do but unfortunately I couldn't find where to configure this.

As an example: I would like to be able to add an alias db.myapp.com to an actual

I purchased an amazon ec2 instance, where I configured a webserver. Then I purchased Route53 to handle dns, where I set my custom domain to point on the Elastic IP.

The fact is that when typing my domain name the server web answers using the AmazonAws.com domain!!

I'm running varnish in front of apache2.

How can I fix that?

I am setting up Nginx servers behind the ELB.
