[Pdns-users] Recursor and subdomain forward

[Giovanni Vecchi]

Hi Brian,

thanks for your tip: forward-zone-file is great.
I only noticed that configuring forward-zone-file will broke the
get-parameter command for rec_control:


*sudo rec_control get-parameter forward-zonesforward-zones=""*

>From rec logs:


*Mar 23 13:21:05 server pdns_recursor[9349]: Reading zone forwarding
information from '/etc/powerdns/recursor.d/zones.conf'Mar 23 13:21:05
server pdns_recursor[9349]: Done parsing 3 forwarding instructions from
file '/etc/powerdns/recursor.d/zones.conf'*

Is this a known behaviour?

Thanks
