       I don't understand DNS :(I have an alias record at my apex pointed at another zone, since I don't wanna (and can't easily) run ddns for that one, since it's just shared to me. But since it runs on the same server as the other domain, I can just reuse that A and AAAA record. I thought. It works if I query my authoritative dns server, but if I query anything else, it fails to resolve to anything....

       @la is this world facing self hosted DNS? Are you using a CNAME record or what? Are you maybe missing a trailing dot or something on the FQDN?

       @azonenberg This is world facing friends hosted DNS (servfail.network / @dns )And I'm using a subdomain of a friend, who just delegated that subdomain into it's own zone and gave me access to that zone.

       @la @dns hmm I'm not familiar with those I've only ever worked with MX, A, AAAA, CNAME, and PTR.Maybe stale cache entries? What's the cache expiration time on the records and how long has it been since you last changed something? For DDNS you want to explicitly set a short expiry

       @azonenberg @dns it aint the cache, the ddns entries have a 60s ttl, the ALIAS recore is at 3600, but has been there for a few days. And even then, my IPv4 hasn't changed since I last checked a few days ago.

       @la @dns Weird, you're at the limit of my DNS skills then.Anything interesting show up in a dig/nslookup when you query your server from outside / query via specific 3rd party resolvers?

       @azonenberg @dns well, it resolves fine on the auth server. Just nowhere else 🙃

       @la @azonenberg ALIAS records are cursed, do you have DNSSEC enabled by any chance? ~f

       @dns @azonenberg I don't think I do... It's not my zone, just shared to me, so I can't access that page in the webui at least. Same reason as why I can't just do ddns for that zone as well.If you have a different suggestion of how I can make that resolve my A and AAAA record, I'd love to hear it.

       @la @dns i've never worked with web management interfaces so no idea. I'm used to editing BIND zone files in nano then doing an explicit "rndc reload" in the shell
