[Pdns-users] powerdns authoritative 4.0.0 alpha stops working from time to time

Thu Nov 10 10:48:18 UTC 2016

Morning!! 

I'm having the same issue with Authoritative 4.0.1-1pdns.trusty.

In my case, there is no a SERVFAIL response.

Backend reported permanent error which prevented lookup (GSQLBackend lookup query:Could not execute mysql statement: SELECT content,ttl,prio,type,domain_id,disabled,name,auth FROM records WHERE disabled=0 and type=? and name=?: Lost connection to MySQL server during query), aborting

I'm also added to may config the loglevel=7 and the query-logging=yes so I will wait for the Warning message again.

Kind Regards,
Ale.

Hello,

I am having the same problem using PowerDNS Authoritative Server
4.0.0-alpha2 from CentOS 7 repository and the MySQL backend.

I enabled the highest level of logging (9).

And here are the results...

First failed queries (e.g. three times for three connections to the backend):

Remote 127.0.0.1 wants '...', do = 0, bufsize = 512: packetcache MISS
Query: SELECT content,ttl,prio,type,domain_id,disabled,name,auth FROM records WHERE disabled=0 and type=? and name=?
Backend reported condition which prevented lookup (GSQLBackend lookup
query: Could not execute mysql statement: SELECT content,ttl,prio,type,domain_id,disabled,name,auth FROM records WHERE
disabled=0 and type=? and name=?: Lost connection to MySQL server during query) sending out servfail

All following queries:

Remote 127.0.0.1 wants '...', do = 0, bufsize = 512: packetcache MISS Backend reported condition which prevented lookup (GSQLBackend lookup
query: Attempt to bind more parameters than query has: SELECT content,ttl,prio,type,domain_id,disabled,name,auth FROM records WHERE
disabled=0 and type=? and name=?) sending out servfail

There are no other log messages in between these.

After the connection is lost, the "Attempt to bind more parameters than query has" (as already mentioned here) appears until the PowerDNS server is restarted...

Also, in my setup the connection is lost due to timeout because in this test environment queries appear very rarely. I think PowerDNS should handle timeouted sessions more gracefully like trying to restart the connection instead of failing the DNS request...

In summary, two problems:
1) Connection to backend lost = queries stuck on error.
2) Session timeouts are not handled gracefully.
