[Pdns-users] PDNS and Recursor

[Andrew Turnbull]

Hi there

I have searched through google and the mailling lists and cannot find
out why my setup doesnt work, I want to be able to use this setup to
be authorative for my own domains and allow me to use them for name
resolution also (recursion)

I am using Version 2.9.17

./configure --with-modules="gmysql" --enable-recursor --enable-pdns_server
make
make install

pdns.conf

allow-recusion
local-address=127.0.0.1
local-port=53
recursor=127.0.0.1:5353
launch=gmysql
gmysql-host=localhost
gmysql-user=pdnstest
gmysql-dbname=pdnstest
gmysql-password=pdnstest


recursor.conf

daemon=on
local-address=127.0.0.1
local-port=5353
aaaa-additional-processing=off
quiet=on

I do the following

service precursor start
service pdns monitor

and get the following

Jul 13 08:17:12 This is a standalone pdns
Jul 13 08:17:12 UDP server bound to 127.0.0.1:53

in another terminal I issue this

host www.bbc.co.uk 127.0.0.1

and get this in the monitor

Jul 13 08:18:35 Not authoritative for 'www.bbc.co.uk', sending
servfail to 127.0.0.1 (recursion was desired)

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
