If a user enters a malformed DNS entry into the database, discodns will handle the error "gracefully" by not falling over and pretending nothing happened.

This is clearly not a good user experience, and we should help the user validate their input before inserting it into the database. There are a few things here...

  • Implement a rich command line client/API (that communicates with etcd) allowing users to manage their DNS entries.
  • Notify users of bad entries
    • One suggestion was to (when sending back SERVFAIL) include a specially formatted TXT record describing the formatting error.
