[Pdns-users] powerdns master, bind slave, slave not updating...

[Mathew Hennessy]

I've tried converting from BIND9 to PowerDNS configured as a slave with
opendbx/sqlite3, and I'm still not getting any love.  How can I trick the
master into not sending SERVFAIL for this demonstration setup?

Deadline...  getting... closer.....
