[Pdns-users] Pipe Backend causes Signal 6

Hi Steve

I am about to take the plunge and try pdns myself and it will probably 
be in a similar environment, but like Bert I am curious why this is 
necessary.

My understanding was that this happens automatically if you use the 
recursor feature. pdns does a lookup, and it if can satisfy the request 
it responds, else hands off to the recursor defined to handle it.

What am I missing?
