[Pdns-users] pdns-recursor works but pdns discards responses

[rooster]

Hello list,

	I have pdns-recursor and pdns on the same host and port but on different IP’s. When I query pdns and it can not answer, so it passes the query on to pdns-recursor, which then responds with the answer but then pdns discards the packets. What did I do wrong? I have tried this with the firewall both on and off and the result is the same. Below is a snippet of the log file with the error, followed by my configuration for the recursor and pdns itself. The host is a PowerPC computer running ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
