[Pdns-users] Strange time drift in log

Hi All,

yesterday we had also a strange time drift on one of our machines. But
also  PDNS had a very high latency and many 90% of the queries are not
answered also the query rate decreased to 10% of normal usage.

The solutions was that our remote syslog server had a misconfigured
firewall. Since fixing the firewall all works fine :-)

Regards
Marco
