Hello again, i seem to have found the solution to my problem, and i am now seeing this in the syslog (which is correct): "[geobackend] Parsing IP map zonefile May 20 11:39:17 ns1 pdns[2487]: [geobackend] Finished parsing IP map zonefile: added 93357 prefixes, storedin 231491 nodes using 2777892 bytes of memory May 20 11:39:17 ns1 pdns[2487]: [geobackend] Parsing director map /etc/geo- maps/www May 20 11:39:17 ns1 pdns[2487]: [geobackend] Finished parsing 1 director map files, 0 failures" what i did was remove the zone and geo-map files from the pdns.d dir, and place them recursively in the /etc dir instead. now everything seems to be fine. next step is to configure the zone RR's. :) cheers kalpesh.
