[Pdns-users] pdns-recursor help

[Bill MacAllister]

I am new to Power DNS and am attempting to setup a Power DNS recursor
server.  I am using Debian bookworm and I have installed the 
pdns-recursor
package.  The server is listening and dig can connect to the server,
but dig returns a status of SERVFAIL.  What should I look at?  What am
I missing?

Ahh, finally figured out how to get queries into syslog.  Here is what I 
am
seeing there:

2024-02-17T08:11:50.536920+00:00 zoot-bookworm pdns_recursor[10110]:

Thanks in advance for your help,
