Hi,

I am using pdns-static-3.4.4-1.x86_64, and I have a pipe backend which modifies local \
records based on the clients location in the network.  This means I need the \
authoritative server in front of the recursor so I can get their IP address.  The \
backend only handles the request if it finds an A records, otherwise it just sends \
END so it falls through, and pdns itself looks up the record in the database.  This \
works great, but I have a problem when it comes to serving CNAMEs that aren't local.  \
If they are local, it works fine.  For non-local records, from what I can see, the \
answer comes back from the database like \
server-1009579898.us-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com., then the server loops over the answer \
to find everything up to .com, finds nothing in the database, but I don't think it \
ever reaches out to the recursor.  It then returns nothing to the client.  I suppose \
that makes sense as an authoritative server, but is there any way to get this \
situation to work?  

Cheers
