Hi List Answering to myself ;) but probably usefull for others. There seems to be a bug [2] which makes pdns4 unusable for multiple pools. Same is true for multiple pools using catalog zone. Other backends seem to be affected if axfr to mdns is involved. Fix: remove the ending dot in the name of the tskigkey (database table tsigkeys) and do NOT reload the pools.yaml file with designate-manage since it will readd the ending dot ;( Benedikt [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/designate/+bug/1930054?comments=all On 26.03.25 14:40, Benedikt Trefzer wrote:

Hi List

I'm trying to create an additional pool with a separate catalog zone.

For the default pool, I can do an AXFR to the catalog domain, this works (either without tsig key or with a tsig).

For the catalog of the second pool cannot be queried (Log sais Zone not found). In the DB I can see the zone.

Questions: - Is it possible to have multiple pools with separate catalogs, does anyone have a running setup ?

- Reading this [1] line in the code, I assume It's not possible having multiple zones without using tsig, correct ?

Thanks a lot.
