[NTLUG:Discuss] Bug in bind?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

Either I am doing something wrong or I found a bug in bind.

If my hosts file has these lines:

$generate 128-175 *.$.208.dnsbl.JAMMConsulting.com.     A 127.0.0.30
50.45.173.208.dnsbl.JAMMConsulting.com.      IN     TXT "10/15/2003 Sent
request to abuse at cw.net"

If I query for 50.45.173.208.dnsbl.JAMMConsulting.com, I get no results
back.
But, if I remove the TXT record, I get an A record for it.

If I do not use the generate syntax:
50.45.173.208.dnsbl.JAMMConsulting.com.      IN     A 127.0.0.30
50.45.173.208.dnsbl.JAMMConsulting.com.      IN     TXT "10/15/2003 Sent
request to abuse at cw.net"

I get the result just fine.

Why would a TXT record interfere with the generated A records?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
	Neil
