Recursor seems to randomly die... (I shortly hinted this, last time i wrote
:) )

I have 2 dns servers, both running their own pdns_recusor..
I have no idea why this happens..  First it died on the secondary about 5-7
days ago, today it died on the primary..

There doesnt appear to be anything usefull in the logs:
------------------------------------------------------
Mar  4 16:24:43 ns pdns_recursor[24784]: [660475] question for
'theblackcrowes.com|MX' from 127.0.0.1
Mar  4 16:24:43 ns pdns_recursor[24784]: [660476] question for
'helmig.net|MX' from 127.0.0.1
Mar  4 16:24:43 ns pdns[24792]: Error receiving packet from recursor
backend: Connection refused
Mar  4 16:24:43 ns last message repeated 4 times

i run the recursor without a conf file and simply i run it like:
pdns_recursor --local-port=54

i should proberbly point out that our recursor is doing quite a bit
recursing.. (last 3 days '966504 recursing questions' on one of the servers,
according to the web-statpage.. Dont know if that counts the cache hits as
well).

Anything i can do make hunting this bug easier?
Is there a debug-build-thingie i can do? (one that doesnt log TOO much)..
