[Pdns-users] Possible bug in powerdns logging

[Michael Reynolds]

In a matter of 1 second, nearly 4000 entries were logged to syslog.

The above 5 lines (they're five if you unwrap them) are repeaating 
thousands upon thousands of times.  Woke up this morning to find my 
syslog file at about 3 gigs in size.  I have loglevel=0, I've disabled 
verbose logging, and log-dns-details=0.  This seems to be something new, 
as it has never happened to my servers before.  Is this a bug?  If not, 
how do I prevent it from running 4000 queries per second?  If more 
information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.  I've not installed 
any new software on the system, nor made changes to the system itself in 
the last month.  I'm running FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE.
