[Pdns-users] Preferred filename of recursor settings

[Brian Candler]

At https://doc.powerdns.com/recursor/yamlsettings.html it says:

/Starting with version 5.1.0, in the absence of a recursor.yml file, an 
existing recursor.conf will be processed as YAML, if that fails, it will 
be processed as old-style configuration. Packages will stop installing a 
old-style recursor.conf file and *start installing a default 
recursor.conf file containing YAML syntax*.
/

[my emphasis]

Does this mean that going forward, the configuration file should 
preferentially be called "recursor.conf" rather than "recursor.yml", 
even when it's in YAML format?

The reason I ask is because if recursor.{conf,yml} in YAML format has a 
"recursor.include_dir" setting, then it only looks for files called 
*.yml in that directory.  So it seems to be a bit odd to use 
recursor.conf but *.yml for all the others.

Regards,

Brian.
