Recently, I wanted to test the basic powerdns terraform provider, and whether I could write multiple TXT record entries for one name.
Hey, what do you know, it worked. I just had little test messages in there, and decided, maybe it would be neat to put the "DNS Haiku" in a text record. I used the latest Terraform, 0.12.12.
Here's my code. Notice I changed the haiku just a little.
// don't forget to put vars in separate file
// for pdns_api_key & pdns_server_url
provider "powerdns" {
api_key = var.pdns_api_key
server_url = var.pdns_server_url
}
// example of multiple TXT records for name
resource "powerdns_record" "text" {
zone = "geexology.org."
name = "text.geexology.org."
type = "TXT"
ttl = 900
records = ["\"It's not DNS.\"","\"There's no way it's DNS.\"","\"Oh no, DNS.\""]
}
Example tfvars.tf.
// cat tfvars.tf
variable "pdns_api_key" {
description = "current api key"
default = "notrealzlolputyourkeyheresilly"
}
variable "pdns_server_url" {
description = "current api url"
default = "http://127.0.0.1:8087"
}

When refreshing state, or performing terraform plan the id looks like this.
powerdns_record.text: Refreshing state... [id=text.geexology.org.:::TXT]
