[Pdns-users] How to configure TSIG with BIND backend

[frank+pdns at tembo.be]

Hi Michael,

Can you provide full (unedited) config files please?

A lot of info is missing to be able to help you fix this problem. Please see https://blog.powerdns.com/2016/01/18/open-source-support-out-in-the-open/ <https://blog.powerdns.com/2016/01/18/open-source-support-out-in-the-open/> for more information.

Frank
