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

[Otto Moerbeek]

Hello,

a.root-servers.net is the default name used by the dnsdist health checks.
So no worries.

With respect to pdns_recursor: logging all queries (with quiet=no)
hurts performance. In general, you do not want to enable it on a
production machine.
