[Pdns-users] PDNS on Solaris questions

[Shane Iseminger]

Hello all,

I've been looking for a solution that allows me to run DNS services on 
a database or LDAP configuration for some time. I ran across PDNS 
yesterday and it seems to be really slick and running well. I was 
previously using a MySQL module for BIND, which worked ok but since 
implementing it I've had some strange and unacceptable DNS problems, so 
obviously that's not going to work!

I'm currently running secondary DNS on PDNS. If that works well I'll 
move my primary to PDNS too, but I do need some recursive DNS services. 
My mail server of course needs to query for many different domains, and 
I have a few clients also using my DNS for browsing and such.

Problem is (on Solaris 8) that pdns_recursor dies (segmentation fault) 
when I try to use it -- I did implement the fix suggested in the April 
archives of this list. I've tried using the BIND backend too, but that 
gives a different error: "discarding untracked packet . . ."

The archives mentioned the BIND error too, but no mention of a way of 
fixing it. Does anyone have either the recursor or BIND backend working 
on Solaris yet? An alternative is to move recursive DNS to a separate 
IP address, and I'll do that if I have to. But it would be nice to not 
use another IP for that.
