Thread: PowerDNS not showing a CAA record option

Running PowerDNS 4.2.1 with PowerAdmin, MySQL, but it isn't showing a CAA record type option.

I've been searching, but all I find references LDAP.

CAA should be able to be added, as it is a standard entry now a days.

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of poweradmin?

PowerAdmin 2.1.7

PowerDNS 4.2.1

PowerDNS doesn't care in the slightest what kind of records you store in its database.

If you have a Resource Record type of SLARTIBARTFAST in your zone and someone requests it, pDNS will answer with it.

Your problem is the web interface you're using - PowerAdmin. You will need to get them to add support for that record type.

In the meantime, just add the record to the zone manually in MySQL.

Code:

use pdns;
select id from domains where name = 'YOURDOMAINNAME-HERE';

( record the Domain ID number )

select * from records where domain_id = IDNUMBER;

( look over your current records to see what you're working with )

insert into records (domain_id,name,type,content) values (IDNUMBER,'YOURDOMAINNAME-HERE','CAA','blah blah slartibartfast whatever here');
