SOLVED: SRV record for ccTLD in fred - fred-users

16 Jun 2011

Solved using a footer in genzone_client

Added 
        footer    = /etc/fred/genzone.footer
to genzone.conf and added 
        _nicname._tcp.fo.  IN SRV 0 0 43 whois.nic.fo.
to genzone.footer

Then "genzone_client fo" included the SRV at next update,
and everything worked fine. :-)

An alternative is to use the footer feature in genzone_client. See
above.
