           Product: PowerDNS
         Component: PowerDNS
           Summary: Include PowerDNS recursor in the package
           Version: 2.9.6-2mdk
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://doc.powerdns.com/built-in-recursor.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


PowerDNS has an resolver / recursing nameserver since 2.9.4. Please include this
in the package.

It can be enabled using the --enable-recursor configure option.

Please include a /etc/init.d/ script which starts the 'pdns_recursor' under a
different user (it defaults to root).

Note: the recursor is a separate daemon which by default listens on port 53.
This causes problems if PowerDNS is running on that port.

Suggested default /etc/powerdns/recursor.conf:
 quiet=on
 local-address=127.0.0.1
 local-port=5300

The quiet=on is not documented at
http://doc.powerdns.com/built-in-recursor.html. Without this option
pdns_recursor logs every request and the answer to that request to syslog.

The pdns.conf setting (should somehow only be added if the recursor service is
enabled):
 recursor=127.0.0.1:5300
