[Pdns-dev] Regarding Qtype sent by PDNS to the pipebackend

[Seema Datar]

Hi,

We are moving from PDNS R2.9.22 to R3.1. I see a difference in the Qtype
sent by PDNS to the backend threads. In version R2.9.22 it use to be ANY
(255) for a domain name but in R3.1, I notice that the qtype getting sent is
2 (NS). Has this interface changed in R3.1? Is there any setting by which I
can revert back to the earlier interface?

Thanks,
Seema
