When a zone is created against a stale primary IP (e.g. the old primary
pod IP 10.10.36.189 before the technitium-primary ClusterIP service
existed), AXFR refresh keeps failing forever while every other zone on
the same replica refreshes fine from 10.110.37.186. The resync-only
branch didn't touch zone options, so the bad IP was pinned indefinitely.
This surfaced as rpi-sofia.viktorbarzin.lan returning 192.168.1.16
(pre-move) on secondaries while primary had the correct .10 from
2026-04-22 morning — Uptime Kuma Sofia RPI monitor DOWN, cluster
cluster_healthcheck FAIL.
The sync loop now re-applies primaryNameServerAddresses on every run
for existing zones. Idempotent — Technitium accepts identical values
— and self-heals any drift within 30 min. Env renamed PRIMARY_IP →
PRIMARY_HOST for consistency with the reconcile semantics.
Hostname form (technitium-primary.technitium.svc.cluster.local) was
tried but Technitium's own resolver doesn't forward svc.cluster.local,
so the field must stay a literal IP. Terraform tracks the ClusterIP on
every apply and the reconcile loop propagates it to replicas.
