accents in IDN ?

Hello,

i'm not sure it is the right place to ask but i search an answer everywhere but didn't find anything.

I have a client who buy a IDN with an accent. Let's suppose it's "qualité.ch"... (i'm working in switzerland)

When i test the nameserver from my registar (switch.ch) i got this message :

Failures
Test: [TEST SOA record present]: server failure (IN/SOA: xn--qualit-okb.ch.)
==> ns1.xxxxxxx.ca./xx.xx.155.149

(i know the server is ok for classique dns because i just migrate 5 others clients and it was really smooth)

it's 10 days im trying to configure DA but nothing change..

Can someone help me ?

Great question. I'd ask it on the bind-users list or the bind newsgroup (they're linked). You'll probably find someone there who knows the answer. But check their archives first.

You might also want to check wikipedia here and also here.

International Domain Names config

I've checked and the correct syntax is :

xn--chartedequalit-okb.ch. for chartedequalité.ch

Do someone has the clue on where to put this information, I tried this and it doesn't work!!

My config is as follow:

ftp A *serverIP*
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A *serverIP*
pop A *serverIP*
www A *serverIP*
xn--chartedequalit-okb.ch. A *serverIP*
xn--chartedequalit-okb.ch. NS *serverDNS*
xn--chartedequalit-okb.ch. NS *serverDNS2*
mail MX 10
xn--chartedequalit-okb.ch. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:*serverIP* ?all"


PS: I also can't find the "bind-users" newsletter... can u give more information about that?

MNy understanding is that your registrar has to support it as well; you might want to check with them.

Thank for your help.

finally i found a solution.

i setup a new user/domain without accent and i make a domain pointer with xn--chartedequalit-okb.ch and chartedequalité.ch and it's ok.
