[fahadysf]

external-dns-5787776dc7-fm8w5_external-dns.log

What happened:
Updating AAAA records with the pihole provider seems to fail. CNAMES get created fine.

What you expected to happen:
AAAA records should be created the same way as CNAME records are.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
It's a simple setup with external-dns monitoring ingressroutes from Traefik (deployment manifest below) and trying to update CNAMEs and AAAA (IPv6) records into pihole. This same setup works fine with the provider being cloudflare.

• After 30d of inactivity since lifecycle/stale was applied, lifecycle/rotten is applied
• After 30d of inactivity since lifecycle/rotten was applied, the issue is closed

You can:

• Mark this issue as fresh with /remove-lifecycle stale
• Close this issue with /close
• Offer to help out with Issue Triage

Please send feedback to sig-contributor-experience at kubernetes/community.
