ISPconfig & Zone Files - Bugs?

[DOCK]

Hi,

today I found a few things on our ISPconfig driven server which made me worrying…

First… when I try to "dig @127.0.0.1 MX domain.tld" on our server, I get:

# dig @127.0.0.1 MX domain.tld

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;domain.tld.                     IN      MX

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
domain.tld.              86400   IN      SOA     ns1.domain.com. ns2.domain.net. 2007032902 28800 7200 604800 86400

;; Query time: 0 msec
;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)

The zone file looks like this:

$TTL        86400
@       IN      SOA     ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.net. (
                        2007032902       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        28800              ; refresh, seconds
                        7200              ; retry, seconds
                        604800              ; expire, seconds
                        86400 )            ; minimum, seconds
;
                NS      ns1.domain.com.              ; Inet Address of name server 1
                NS      ns2.domain.com.              ; Inet Address of name server 2
;

www  MX      10 host.domain.com.
  MX      10 host.domain.com.
  MX      10 host.domain.com.

domain.tld.      A        11.11.11.11
sunrise       A       11.11.11.11
smw       A       11.11.11.11
www       A       11.11.11.11
blog       A       11.11.11.11
test       A       11.11.11.11

First what's going on with those MX recors? They're double…

Then… the syntax looks "strange".

Shouldn' it look like this:

localhost               IN      A       11.11.11.11
@                       IN      A       11.11.11.11
www                     IN      A       11.11.11.11
mail                    IN      A       11.11.11.11

loopback                IN      CNAME   localhost
smw                     IN      CNAME   www
sunrise                    IN      CNAME   www
blog                    IN      CNAME   www


@                       IN      MX 10   mail

The "IN" is missing…


And… when I manually add somthing like this to my zonefile:

@                       IN      MX 10   www

...the query for MX returns correct results…

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;domain.net.                     IN      MX

;; ANSWER SECTION:
domain.net.              86400   IN      MX      10 www.domain.net.

I just used the ISPconfig checkboxes in ISPmanager "create dns" and "create dns-mx"… I did nothing through the DNS Manager.
And… when I take a look at the records in the DNS Manager I can't see any MX records there… and if I try to add one I get an error message saying that there's already one…

Looks like a bug, hm?

The syntax of the ISPConfig bind file is ok.

And… when I take a look at the records in the DNS Manager I can't see any MX records there…

I'am pretty sure that they are ther, please check again.

I dont think so. Please check if the domain or mx record is in the recycle bin.

Hi,

the recycle bin is empty.
Please tell me why I can't dig the MX record with the ISPconfig syntax.
When I manually add a MX record in the recommended syntax (like it's shown in the bind manual…) I can ´dig´ it correctly.

Here are some screenshots…

One more… (Fill: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.)

Please delete the duplicate MX record in the DNS-manager.

[DOCK]

OK. Now I get correct dig results.
But… why could this happen?

I'am not sure. Normally ISPConfig is checking for duplicates. I will have a look at the code, maybe there are some situations where the check does not work properly. You are using the latest stable release?

[DOCK]

Yes, I'm using the latest stable release.
I'll send you a private message with my contact details - I'd like to grant you access to the server if it helps for your code revision.
