CAA records

[BasicXP]

Agreed, this would be a nice feature to have. Honestly doesn't sound like a complicated thing to do. What would be great is to have customizable RR types, so there's no need to wait for each new type to be added.

In case you missed it: CAA is available now. ("Additional").

According to the news page, it seems that CAA records have been implemented:

"CAA Record Support
 
We've added the CAA record type!
After many requests, we have completed the backend upgrades required to enable the CAA record type."

, however, when querying my slave zone I get SERVFAIL and the record is listed as TYPE257 instead of CAA.

Can anyone confirm that this is actually working?

257 is the CAA record number.  If it's showing up as "TYPE257" instead of "CAA", and therefore with the raw record data instead of a nicely formatted reply, that's a function of your DNS query client not supporting the record type.

As to the rest, email dnsadmin@he.net with the hostname you're seeing issues with.

Yes, I know, but I'm talking about HE's web interface, my client is fine and also when querying my own master is fine.

As to the rest, email dnsadmin@he.net with the hostname you're seeing issues with.

Thanks, will do.
