[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Master/Slave

[Michael Holm]

Hi..
Im trying to setup a PowerDNS server, one acting as master and the other 
one acting as slave... im running debian on both computer..

the problem is that.. when i add a domain in the database on my master 
(10.1.1.248), then i expect my slave (10.1.1.249) to get a notify about 
that.. and add it right away.. but nothing happens..
when i make a lookup on the master everything works fine.. but when i 
ask the slave.. i get no return.

i hope that someone can give me some help.. or some hints of what i 
possible can do wrong.

my configuration, database and log is below:

master config:
allow-axfr-ips=10.1.1.249
config-dir=/etc/powerdns
daemon=yes
disable-axfr=yes
guardian=yes
launch=gmysql
lazy-recursion=yes
local-address=10.1.1.248
local-port=53
master=yes
module-dir=/usr/lib/powerdns
recursor=<MY ISP>
setgid=pdns
setuid=pdns
socket-dir=/var/run
version-string=powerdns
include=/etc/powerdns/pdns.d
