[Dnsmasq-discuss] auth-zone and subdomain

[Jim Bos]

Hello,

I'm authoritative for domain: my.zone.local
However, there is a subdomain for which another dnsserver is resolving
at IP 10.10.5.5 so I tried this in dnsmasq.conf:


auth-zone=my.zone.local,10.10.0.0/16
server=/subdom.my.zone.local/10.10.5.5


However, a query for a host in this sub-domain is answered with
NXDOMAIN, i.e. a query for host.subdom.my.zone.local results in:

dnsmasq[22745]: query[A]
host.subdom.my.zone.local from 10.10.60.120
dnsmasq[22745]: auth
host.subdom.my.zone.local is NXDOMAIN

I was hoping the queries for this subdomain would still be forwarded,
but that's not working.
When I remove the auth-zone statement all works as expected but
obviously I'm no longer authoritative and queries for non-existing hosts
in my.zone.local are forwarded to upstream server.

Is this a bug or a feature or did I configure this incorrectly ?

Thanks,
Jim
