[Pdns-users] How to set up pdns recursor to repeat the query if it does not get an answer

[Mira Krejci]

Hi Winfried,

thank you for your reply.
If it's a feature and can't be changed, I have a big problem that I'll
have to solve by changing the software to another.
For example, Bind asks more than once if answer does not come. Users are
angry that DNS resolving does not work for them (of course, it is to
blame for authoritative servers of a specific domain).
But I have to solve it somehow.

Thanks.
Mira
