[Pdns-users] Repeating log file entry for root server

[Slacker T]

Hello! I'm running the release versions of dnsdist, recursor and server on
OpenBSD 7.2. Currently that is:
dnsdist-1.7.2
powerdns-4.6.3
powerdns-recursor-4.7.3

I'm upgrading the OS and pdns from older versions, 4.4.x. I'm attempting to
use the previous config files soi that might be the issue.

I'm seeing the following entries repeated in the log files. I'm wondering
if it's from the 'hint-file' config file for the recursor entry. I don't
have that in the config, but I see in the docs that it changed in 4.6.2.

Oct 28 08:49:57 dns01 pdns[37599]: Remote 127.0.0.1 wants '
> a.root-servers.net|A', do = 0, bufsize = 512: packetcache HIT

So is this from some internal piece to update the root servers? loglevel is
6 on both the recursor and the server. I just wanted to make sure this is
normal and not a sign of misconfiguration. Rarely the log will show a MISS.
