Using Virtualmin > Server Configuration > DNS records, I added a DNS SRV record with an incorrect server name. I had entered sub.example.com when I should have entered example.com.
I tried to edit the record to remove the “sub.” but received the error message
“Failed to save DNS record : Record name contains invalid characters”
This occurs when I am logged in as root. When I “Switch to Server’s Admin” > Webmin modules > BIND DNS Server, I can successfully edit the SRV record.
It also works as root if I use Webmin > Servers > BIND DNS server.
It’s a minor problem since there are these workarounds. Is it a bug or am I misunderstanding something? It seems to be a difference between VIrtualmin and Webmin.
Thanks
