[Dnsmasq-discuss] Reverse lookups not working in authoritative mode

[Franco Broi]

Hi

I just configured my dnsmasq server to be authoritative but now reverse
lookups don't work. With debug turned on I can see that the address is
resolved and with strace I can even see the resolved hostname being sent
in sendmsg but the machine doing the query says  not found: 3(NXDOMAIN).
If I remove the auth-server option it works as expected.

My configuration is minimal:

domain=aus.abc.com
auth-server=perth1.aus.abc.com,eth0
auth-zone=aus.abc.com,10.150.32.0/20

[franco at tc1 ~]$ host 10.150.35.105 perth1
Using domain server:
Name: perth1
Address: 10.150.35.111#53
Aliases: 

Host 105.35.150.10.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


[root at perth1 src]# dnsmasq -d -q
dnsmasq: started, version 2.68 cachesize 150
