Title: Format issue with dots
Post by: luca on October 09, 2024, 02:03:51 PM

Seems when creating an MX, for example, Bind with CWP.

@ IN MX 5 mx.domain.com

It requires a dot

@ IN MX 5 mx.domain.com.

and CWP is not clear on that. We had to change tons of domains in batch. It would be nice if it alerted about the invalid syntax.

I believe same for CNAMEs, require an extra dot at the end of the value.

Thanks.

Thanks, friend. Yes, but my case is a feature request.

It could inform about the invalid syntax...

Thanks.

There is no any bugs or problems. You MUST add the dot at the end of the domain/subdomain in the DNS records in order to recognize such domains/subdomains as FQDN (fully qualified domain name). In case you don't add the dot then it is recognized as unqualified domain name and the value from $ORIGIN is added to such domain/subdomain. It is how the DNS system works.

Friend,

I know. That's what I said. I understand it's not a bug.

I said something else.

It would be nice if you could validate the field. Alert if person doesn't add the dot. Thats all.

Thanks.
