Symlink targets are subject to chroot rules too. When viewed within the chroot, your symlinks are just pointing to themselves. I would suggest experimenting with hardlinking them, or making the symlinks the other way around.

Note that when I try here, the socket ends up outside of the chroot but rec_control is still unable to get a response from the recursor.

Please let me know whether you get this running with symlinks or hard links in the right direction; if not, I will investigate whether there are bugs in this area.

Kind regards,
