Cannot figure out what is wrong here… must be something simple but after sitting in airplanes the last 40 hours and it’s 2am…

Only when I comment out the two lines in the end of the named.harriot, it goes through and BIND load the zone. With those two lines, get the following:

dns_master_load: named.harriot:33: mg.harriot.fi: CNAME and other data

dns_rdata_fromtext: named.harriot:35: syntax error

If you uncomment that mg CNAME you end up with a CNAME mx and TXT at the same node in to the DNS tree and that is illegal. That is why you get the error "cname and other data". The mx and txt are the other data.

How long is the character in txt line? If it’s longer than 255, it will show that exact error. Exact thing happened to me yesterday. 

You can separate with a quote to make it work.

Yes, I think the whole CNAME is useless here anyway.

These were the recommendations of this service provider, mailgun though..

Thx, Jukka

CNAME is useful, but it does not (and can not) work the way you want.

>These were the recommendations of this service provider, mailgun though..

where? the CNAME issue is long known and clarifies in RFC 2181, section
10.1. CNAME resource records
...published in 1997.

In their (mailgun) instructions to the client. And then the client wanted us to include those to his zone.

CNAME of course is useful in general, but like I wrote, *here* it is not needed.
