Hi all,

Hate to pester, but I'd love to know whether this behavior is a bug or a feature. :)

Thanks,

Charles

Hello,

I'm in the middle of testing a new powerdns/postgres setup in native mode with postgres replication. I've not run into any major issues so far, but I'm seeing some odd behavior on the last server I setup.

I started powerdns, and after that had stopped and started postgres a few times to make some config changes. It seems like powerdns is not dealing with the disappearing postgres process, almost as if the backend connection has not attempted a reconnect:

Jun 30 19:46:07 ns3 pdns[1569]: Database module reported condition which prevented lookup (PostgreSQL failed to execute command: FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. ) sending out servfail

I got a few of those (accompanied with a servfail response), and then this log line repeats:

Jun 30 19:46:07 ns3 pdns[1569]: Database module reported condition which prevented lookup (PostgreSQL failed to execute command: unknown reason) sending out servfail

If I repeat the dns query, I get an answer about 2 out of 5 tries, perhaps because one backend connection is properly connected and the others are not.

After a restart of powerdns, the issue goes away.

This is 3.0.20110509 of powerdns with PostgreSQL 9.0.4.

I also am still seeing the issue of the "loglevel=" config not seeming to have an effect on the logging verbosity (currently set to 8, but the logs seem pretty minimal).

Thanks,

Charles
