What is correct SOA Record for .meshname domains

Open marek22k opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I am currently trying to set up a small name server with Coredns. I currently have the following zone file for this:

$TTL    3600
@   IN  SOA aillnw5rjatwr6zxb2iqozntqi.meshname. meshname.mk16.de. (
    2022010901 ; serial
    86400 ; refresh
    7200 ; retry
    3600000 ; expire
    3600 ; caching
)

aillnw5rjatwr6zxb2iqozntqi.meshname.	IN	AAAA	2a02:180:6:1::1f24
y.aillnw5rjatwr6zxb2iqozntqi.meshname.	IN	AAAA 216:b6db:b148:2768:fb37:e91:765:b382
ygg.aillnw5rjatwr6zxb2iqozntqi.meshname.	IN	AAAA 216:b6db:b148:2768:fb37:e91:765:b382
yggdrasil.aillnw5rjatwr6zxb2iqozntqi.meshname.	IN	AAAA 216:b6db:b148:2768:fb37:e91:765:b382

What should a SOA record for meshname look like? As I understood meshname, there should be no zone transfer, since the DNS servers are always queried directly; therefore an SOA record would be unnecessary. Coredns, however, requires one.

Your domain resolves just fine. I use a record like that:

aiql7yv7ka6ck5mxpfnugi3hoe.meshname.  IN  SOA   aiql7yv7ka6ck5mxpfnugi3hoe.meshname. admin.aiql7yv7ka6ck5mxpfnugi3hoe.meshname. ( 1111111111 7200 3600 1209600 3600 )

I'm not absolutely sure if that's correct or not, it requires some further research.
