[Pdns-users] PowerDNS - Remote Backend - "Fatal error: Trying to set unexisting parameter 'remote-connection-string'" - CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

[Aki Tuomi]

Hi Aleksander, 

I'm afraid you've misunderstood how it works. RemoteBackend does not listen
for connections, it makes them. If you are using HTTP connector, you are 
expected to set-up listener to the URL yourself, which remotebackend connects
to.
