Hi Remi, Thanks for the quick reply. I should have spotted the change to running under another user. I have now moved a copy of the server.key file in to the /etc/dnsdist directory, and set permissions for the _dnsdist group. Obviously, I updated the config file to point to the new location of the .key file. All now runs fine.
A bit odd as the permissions for the server.key file were previously 666 which I thought would be okay. It should have been 'world' readable. Note.. the group on mine is _dnsdist rather than dnsdist ... I assume this is as it should be. Thanks again for your help That comes from dnsdist 1.5‑rc2 not being started as root anymore, and therefore likely not being able to enter the /etc/ssl/private directory. Please read the upgrade guide at [1]. Several options exist there, you could copy the necessary files in /etc/dnsdist and set the ownership of these files to dnsdist, or perhaps the dnsdist user could be added to the group owning the /etc/ssl/private directory (ssl‑cert on Debian, if I'm not mistaken), for example.
