When I use hint-file configuration to set a hint-file, powerDNS-recursor will just use the ip address in hint file without doing a NS query to root server. I wonder if it is a implement difference( cause I know bind and unbound would do a NS query) or I wipe the cache in a wrong way(I use ”rec_control wipe-cache .” to wipe the cache).

In other words, I see an NS query to one root server (a different one for each of 3 attempts).

Can you clarify your question and/or show us what you are seeing?

Kind regards,
