Guys,
We have upgraded our customer caching name servers to pdns recursor 3.2
(which is working very well), this has now been running for 4 days but
in the last 24 hours we have seen the tcp listener stop answering
queries on 2 seperate servers. Our monitoring servers flag this up for
us and restarting the recursor fixes it.
Now I know tcp isn't used that much but I was wondering if anyone else
has experienced this, due to the size of the logs we would generate we
have the quiet option set to yes in the config so only get basic logging
(which showed nothing out of the ordinary).
In order to get the logging more detailed I tried the following :-
mkdir /local/log
edit /etc/syslog.conf and add the following line
local0.* /local/log/recursor.log
/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
Then alter the recursor.conf file to log to local0 and turn off quiet :-
uncomment logging-facility and change it to 0
logging-facility=0
also change quiet=yes to no
quiet=no
/etc/init.d/pdns-recursor restart
But for some reason this slowed the caching name server down noticeably
and caused 0ms queries to become 200-500ms sometimes more and when
looking at the pdns processes in top the cache memory usage was very
small and not moving up as expected.
This has only happened to one of 7 live servers at the moment and when I
try and replicate on a test server the above does not happen so could be
load through syslog level as the test server is very quiet.
Thoughts appreciated..
Simon
