[Pdns-users] strange behaviour of updates of serials of slave domains

[Jakub Jermar]

Hi!

several days ago I ran into a problem with powerdns 2.9.16. (debian/sarge)
This message keeps on appearing in my logs, one every minute:

Jul 21 10:17:34 amistad pdns[556]: 1 slave domain needs checking
Jul 21 10:17:34 amistad pdns[556]: Domain itbs.cz is stale, master serial 181, our serial 0
Jul 21 10:17:34 amistad pdns[556]: gpgsql Connection succesful
Jul 21 10:17:34 amistad pdns[556]: AXFR started for 'itbs.cz', transaction started
Jul 21 10:17:35 amistad pdns[556]: AXFR done for 'itbs.cz', zone committed

I believe I configured the "update-serial-query" properly:

gpgsql-update-serial-query=UPDATE DNS.domain SET notified_serial=%d WHERE id=%d

To me, this seems like that it just doesn't get called at all. Do you think it's possible?
Other PowerDNS functionality is intact and works as expected.

And as I already wrote to some other address, there was a typo in pdns documentation: 

---
update-serial-query

Called to update the last notified serial of a master domain. Default: update domains set 
notified_serial=%d where id=%d 

update-lastcheck-query

Called to update the last time a slave domain was checked for freshness. Default: update domains set 
notified_serial=%d where id=%d
---

Note that both descriptions have the same default query!


Thanks for your help,
Jakub Jermar
