The SSHFP record interface only supports fingerprint type 1 (SHA-1) - it would be pretty great to also support FP 2 (which is SHA-256).
It also only supports algorithms 1 (RSA) and 2 (DSA). It would likewise be nice to support algorithms 3 (ECDSA) and 4 (Ed25519).
These supplements to SSHFP are described at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6594 and http://www.iana.org/go/rfc7479
Thanks!

Re: Improve SSHFP record support
The PowerDNS docs only reference RFC 4255, so I can't say right now without checking the source code if it'll allow more than that or not.

Re: Improve SSHFP record support
I just took a look through the PowerDNS source code at https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/search?q=sshfp PowerDNS doesn't do any checking on the algorithm or fptype fields of the SSHFP records - it simply requires them to be integers.
I also contacted PowerDNS and asked them to add RFC 6594 and RFC 7479 to their compliance page at https://www.powerdns.com/compliance.html
Thanks!

Re: Improve SSHFP record support
*bump*
This seems like it should be a really easy to change to make... just add a couple new options to the drop down

This really does seem super simple. Can you please make this improvement?

Re: Improve SSHFP record support
I'm looking at our code for SSHFP type and it appears this is already done as far as the ACC is concerned (last change date is Dec. 4, 2016). Is it not working?

Re: Improve SSHFP record support
I never noticed the change was done...I stopped checking
Thanks!
