[Pdns-users] Recursor not resolving certain domains.

[Oliver Kent]

Sorry about the result, I did not shorten it on purpose. The problem is
that this server is live and another request came in after that. It makes
it very hard to trace where it starts and ends.

I had another look through the logs and found this: https://pastee.org/zn4bj

I ran a ping and traceroute to the IP and all went through fine. It just
seems to be timeing out, but I will try out some of the suggestions tonight.

Here is my pdns.conf: https://pastee.org/x8g39 (I am aware that it is set
to allow the world to recurse).

Oh and and update on the ppa would be much appreciated.

Regards

Oli Kent
