Hi Daniel, I found your suggestion very helpful, thanks. The irony is that after deleting those "\" characters in four domains pdns still complains about unknown escape sequence. Could it be the character other than "\" that makes exceptions?

Evidently -- at least with a mysql backend -- it meant that we had escape sequences ("\") in our records somewhere. It turned out to be TXT records containing "\;". We found ours with: select * from records where content like '%\\\%'; -- Daniel Greene Systems Engineer, R&D (mt) Media Temple, Inc 877 578.4000 x515 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene Pefti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 5, 2008 10:08:39 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [Pdns-users] TCP nameserver had error, cycling backend Hi folks, What could this error message mean? Jun 5 21:28:53 ns2 pdns[5778]: TCP nameserver had error, cycling backend: Reading data: Connection reset by peer They are numerous indeed. I believe they affect the overall performance. And why would this stats show up in the log: Jun 5 21:44:33 ns2 pdns_recursor[5200]: stats: 181355 questions, 86152 cache entries, 363 negative entries, 15% cache hits Jun 5 21:44:33 ns2 pdns_recursor[5200]: stats: throttle map: 41, ns speeds: 135 Jun 5 21:44:33 ns2 pdns_recursor[5200]: stats: outpacket/query ratio 166%, 1% throttled, 0 no-delegation drops Jun 5 21:44:33 ns2 pdns_recursor[5200]: stats: 353 outgoing tcp connections, 4 queries running, 18833 outgoing timeouts Can these recursor erros be correlated with pdns errors? And finally, can somebody interpret this even more numerous message: Exception: unknown escape sequence Eugene _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
