Duplicate records

Closed this issue 7 months ago · 3 comments

I'm under the impression that DDNS adds duplicate entries rather than finding a match and update the existing records.

domains:
  carroarmato0.be:
    - type: "A"
      name: "router"
    - type: "A"
      name: "carroarmato0.be."
    - type: "A"
      name: "*.carroarmato0.be."

Typically the "carroarmato0.be." and "*.carroarmato0.be." are duplicated once after DDNS restarts.

Hi @carroarmato0 !

Let's explore why this happens. The duplicate behaviour is observed because carroarmato0.be. is translated to @ and *.carroarmato0.be. to *. When DDNS tries to match, it searches for strings carroarmato0.be. and *.carroarmato0.be. in DNS names, can't find them because they are now @ and * resulting in new records being created.

I assume, you want the following:

domains:
  carroarmato0.be:
    - type: "A"
      name: "router"
    - type: "A"
      name: "@"
    - type: "A"
      name: "*"

Thanks! I had a hunch this might be the reason. I'll make the changes and report back to you.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed
