Hi,

I also had this problem and discussed this in a thread last month.
The problem still isn't properly fixed but i've got a brute work around that
works for the time being.

Subject: [Pdns-users] Discarding untracked packet...

Hello list,

I've recently implemented powerdns for the first time, and though it
seems to work perfect for authorative queries, it seems to die on
anything to do with recursive.

Before I get too far, yes I did check the archives. Seems like I might
have a endiens problem. The latest version (which I am using) says the
funkiness was fixed.

Details:

powerdns on freebsd 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5/sparc64

compiled with:

CXXFLAGS=-DWORDS_BIGENDIAN ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local
--enable-recursor --enable-pdns_server --enable-pdns_server
--enable-verbose-logging

(Tried w/o cxxflags too)

Conf is:

guardian=yes
lazy-recursion=yes
local-address=0.0.0.0
local-port=53
log-dns-details=yes
log-failed-updates=yes
logfile=/var/log/pdns.log
loglevel=4
recursor=x.x.x.x
use-logfile=yes
webserver=yes
webserver-address=0.0.0.0
webserver-password=password
webserver-port=8081
webserver-print-arguments=yes
launch=gmysql
gmysql-host=127.0.0.1
gmysql-user=private
gmysql-password=private
gmysql-dbname=private

What happens:

Well I first tried the recursor, because the docs said only 4.x was
funky. Needless to say, I couldn't get farther than an immediate dump.
(IOW: It doesn't work with 5.x either:))

I then moved the recursor= to a bind server with is currently resolving
for thousands of customers. I get this:

Jun 09 11:13:27 Discarding untracked packet from recursor backend with
id 768. Contrack table size=1

when I type 'host google.com' from a machine using the powerdns server
in /etc/resolv.conf

Assuming it was something to do with bind, I tried using a resolver that
is MSDNS based (yeah, M$), and it does the same exact thing.

I guess it doesn't really matter what I try, I just get:

Jun 09 11:18:20 Discarding untracked packet from recursor backend with
id <#>. Contrack table size=1

no matter what.

Again, I'm using freebsd (which powerdns doesn't seem to like that
much?) on sparc64 (which is probably a nightmare of the gcc world)

Does anyone have any suggestions besides trying:
A. A different OS. (Freebsd has been exceptional on sparc64)
B. A different ARCH. (I have 11 Netras, and I need to do *something*
with them.)

Thanks in advance!

Dan Vande More
