I am trying to understand when the LHS of a TXT record needs to be terminated with '.'.
For example, I see this one of the machines I am managing. The server in question is the zone authority for foo.com: foo.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 ... foo.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 ... something._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1 ... _dmark.foo.com. IN TXT "v=DMARC1 ... Could some kind soul explain why the DKIM key name does not require the trailing period, but why all the foo.com entries do? _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
