Anyone using AutoDNS? Issue with handling redirects

[Max den Hollander (Makzemann)]

Hi all, am new to this community and DNSControl and loving the tool. We are working to implement DNSControl as part of our workflow, and one issue I'm running into is how to either include or ignore the redirects we have configured in our AutoDNS. For some reason DNSControl is suggesting to delete such records wherever they exist and I cannot figure out how to handle this in the config.

example config:

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none');

var DSP_AUTODNS = NewDnsProvider('autodns');

D('somedomain.com', REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_AUTODNS), DefaultTTL(600),

NAMESERVER_TTL("86400"),

);

Result from 'dnscontrol preview': ******************** Domain: somedomain.com
1 correction (autodns)
#1: - DELETE somedomain.com redirect  ttl=86400
Zone update for somedomain.com

We have tried including the A record pointer to AutoDNS default redirector:

A("@", "62.116.130.8"),

A("www", "62.116.130.8"),

A("*", "62.116.130.8"), Or adding an IGNORE:

IGNORE("*", "A", "62.116.130.8"),

IGNORE("redirect"), Or even NO_PURGE, none of these actually avoid this preview outcome of DELETE and so I'm running out of ideas! Would love to hear how you solved this.

Many thanks.

fixed it using 

IGNORE("","redirect"),

Max,

I'm glad you were able to work that out.  Sadly the way DNSControl handles unknown record types isn't very good.  That's something I'd like to improve in the future.
