Greetings. This seems a bit odd. I have a zone file with:
=====
$TTL 6
test79.example.com. IN SOA
foo.example.com.
dns.test79.example.com. ( 201209150 5m 1m 2w
5m )
test79.example.com. IN NS
foo.example.com.
test79.example.com. IN TYPE79 \# 4 deadface
=====
Trying to compile it gives:
=====
Parsing file '/home/dns/Files/foo.conf', origin 'test79.example.com.' ...
/home/dns/Files/foo.conf:4: error: bad unknown RDATA
Parser finished with error, not dumping the zone!
error: Compilation of 'test79.example.com.' failed, knot-zcompile return code was
'1'
=====
This zone file works fine in BIND, NSD, and PowerDNS. It seems that either Knot cannot use
the standard mechanism for defining unknown RRtypes (RFC 3597), or it maybe has a
different syntax. Clues are appreciated.
