Hmm -- more trouble here:

$ pdns_control counts
Fatal error: Unable to connect to remote
'/var/run/pdns.controlsocket': Permission denied
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/gramps2$ sudo pdns_control counts

After restartinf pdns, the syslog shows this:

Jan 18 12:06:30 localhost pdns[15472]: Listening on controlsocket in
'/var/run/pdns.controlsocket'
Jan 18 12:06:30 localhost pdns[15474]: Guardian is launching an instance
Jan 18 12:06:30 localhost pdns[15474]: Unable to launch, no backends
configured for querying
Jan 18 12:06:30 localhost pdns[15472]: Child requested a stop, exiting

Do I need a backend for strictly local (i.e. one system) operation?
If so, what's the simplest one to set up?

It is probably running, but it might not be in use. Check your configuration
file if it is listening on the address you think it is listening on (by
default, only 127.0.0.1), and check your /etc/resolv.conf to see if it is
pointing at 127.0.0.1.

Additionally, if you changed resolv.conf, but did not restart firefox, it
might not be aware of the change.

Finally, firefox contains its own cache and might simply not be performing
queries that could be cached.

To get accurate numbers, use 'rec_control get', see
http://doc.powerdns.com/recursor-stats.html for which items you can 'get'.

This may not work if your recursor is too old, unsure what 'edgy' ships.

You'll find instructions on how to dump the cache on or near the link I
mentioned above.

Additionally, try running the recursor with 'quiet=off' or even 'trace=on'
for abundant detail about what is happening.
