[Pdns-users] Debugging

[Michael C. Gates]

Hi Bert,

I get about 3 different types of crashes. There is no rhyme or reason to
them. I watch the command prompt log to see if it crashes on the same type
of action, and it doesn't. I was hoping setting up the service to restart
after a failure would fix the problem, but it seems that the program is
still running, just not answering. I have been trying to figure out why 1
server works fine, and 2 others don't. There is no rhyme or reason to them
either.

Is there an older build of the windows version that is more stable? I don't
need bells and whistles, just simple A, CNAME, MX, SOA records, etc. And I
don't need primary and slave servers because I simply use replication in my
MS SQL DB so if I update one, they all get updated.

Thanks for your help.

Michael C. Gates

The PowerDNS Recursor compiles in Visual Studio 2005, the authoritative
server doesn't. The currently last released version of the PowerDNS
Authoritative server is known to have many, many bugs.

Can you let us know more about your specific problem?

Thanks.
