<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm using pdns 4.5.2 under Debian 11.<br>
</p>
<p>I configured 2 virtual instances of pdns following the
instructions in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/guides/virtual-instances.html">https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/guides/virtual-instances.html</a></p>
<p>One is called "EXTERNO" and the other "INTERNO", with
configurations in <font size="+1" face="monospace">/etc/powerdns/pdns-EXTERNO.conf</font>
and <font size="+1" face="monospace">/etc/powerdns/pdns-INTERNO.conf</font></p>
<p>Now I'd like to try <font size="+1" face="monospace">pdns_control</font>
on the same host.</p>
<p>The problem I have is that the socket for the "EXTERNO" instance
is <font size="+1" face="monospace">/var/run/pdns-EXTERNO/pdns<b>-EXTERNO</b>.controlsocket</font>
and the socket for the "INTERNO" instance is <font size="+1"
face="monospace">/var/run/pdns-INTERNO/pdns<b>-INTERNO</b>.controlsocket</font></p>
<p>However, if I try to use the <font size="+1" face="monospace">pdns_control</font>
command, it only has a <font size="+1" face="monospace">--socket-dir</font>
option, but no <font size="+1" face="monospace">--socket-name</font>
option, and it assumes the socket name is <i>always</i> <font
size="+1" face="monospace">pdns.controlsocket</font>.</p>
<p>I can't find either a socket-name (or equivalent) option for the
configuration file.</p>
<p>Here's an example:</p>
<pre>$ pdns_control --socket-dir=/var/run/pdns-EXTERNO current-config
Fatal error: Unable to connect to remote '/var/run/pdns-EXTERNO/pdns.controlsocket': No such file or directory
$ ls -l /var/run/pdns-EXTERNO
total 0
srwxr-xr-x 1 pdns pdns 0 Jan 20 20:59 pdns-EXTERNO.controlsocket
</pre>
<p>Any help will be appreciated.<br>
</p>
