I've having difficulty with connection timeouts with the recursor on my newest install of PDNS.  I have two PDNS (v2.9.16) servers running on RHEL 4 (32 bit) with a recursor option without a problem.  The new box is running PDNS ( 2.9.20) on Suse v10 64 bit.  I'm using a MySQL backend.

Querying any local address works fine.  Remote addresses cause a timeout.

I've added the recursor line to my pdns.conf file as follows:
recursor= 64.65.223.6 (one of my ISPs DNS servers)

I've tried omitting the allow-recursion line (as I have with the two working boxes) and also have tried it set to 0.0.0.0/0.  No difference.

At a prompt on the server a query such as dig @64.65.223.6 www.google.com returns an accurate response.  However, the query dig @ 192.168.2.4 www.google.com displays:

<<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> @192.168.2.4 www.google.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


The web server within PDNS shows recursing-questions as a positive number, one which increases as I enter queries similar to the above.  I see entries such as "Recursive query for remote 192.168.2.4 with internal id 0 was not answered by backend within timeout, reusing id".  It would appear PDNS is having difficulty connecting to my ISP's DNS, but I can do perform this locally on the server.  The connection is good.

Does anyone have any suggestions? 


Thanks,
Bob
