DNS Haiku with TXT Records and Terraform

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"
}

The reply from the server for the dig query.

When refreshing state, or performing terraform plan the id looks like this.

powerdns_record.text: Refreshing state... [id=text.geexology.org.:::TXT]
