[Pdns-users] pipe backend

[Sean Leach]

Is anyone using the pipe backend with PowerDNS 2.9.19-1?  I am using  
the example perl script (backend.pl) that came with powerdns just to  
test it, when I send this query:

dig webserver.example.com a @<ipaddress>

I a server time out and get this in the logs:

Nov  9 18:50:07 dns pdns[3343]: About to create 3 backend threads for  
UDP

incorrect response 'DATA     webserver.example.com  IN A        
3600    -1      1.2.3.4'

Is the perl script not up to date with the latest protocol?

Thanks,
Sean
