[Pdns-users] Recursor not working

[Bob Dushok]

I've having difficulty with connection timeouts with the recursor on my
newest install of PDNS.  I have two PDNS (v2.9.16) servers running on RHEL 4
(32 bit) with a recursor option without a problem.  The new box is running
PDNS (2.9.20) on Suse v10 64 bit.  I'm using a MySQL backend.

Querying any local address works fine.  Remote addresses cause a timeout.

I've added the recursor line to my pdns.conf file as follows:
recursor=64.65.223.6 (one of my ISPs DNS servers)

I've tried omitting the allow-recursion line (as I have with the two working
boxes) and also have tried it set to 0.0.0.0/0.  No difference.

At a prompt on the server a query such as dig @64.65.223.6
www.google.comreturns an accurate response.  However, the query dig @
192.168.2.4 www.google.com displays:

<<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> @192.168.2.4 www.google.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


The web server within PDNS shows recursing-questions as a positive number,
one which increases as I enter queries similar to the above.  I see entries
such as "Recursive query for remote 192.168.2.4 with internal id 0 was not
answered by backend within timeout, reusing id".  It would appear PDNS is
having difficulty connecting to my ISP's DNS, but I can do perform this
locally on the server.  The connection is good.

Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks,
Bob
