Not at all, just some intermediate resolver that messes up as I
suggested in my first reply. Perhaps powerdns resolvers that assume
everyone supports EDNS0, and that break all kinds of lookups.
To be fair to the good folks at PowerDNS, the software in question
was an alpha version, that Ubuntu should probably not have shipped
in a prod release. I don't know of any similar issues in actual
releases of PowerDNS.
Thank you both for the help. Looks like the only recourse is to stop
using PDNS or install it from source until Ubuntu can provide a
non-alpha product. I'm shocked that they have done such a thing. I
wonder if a post to their mailing list would get the attention of the
right person.
