I had expected as much so I wasn't terribly shocked. OpenSuSE 12.1 does have
it's own RPM package,
but it's for an older 2.9.22.

The configuration file we used was not dissimilar from the default distributed
configuration file.
So, I reverted it back to the default and added only the MySQL configuration.
This seems to work fine,
We get 10 or so 'gmysql Connection successful' messages (presumably one for
each thread) and then it
starts running both in daemon and non-daemon mode.
If I add in the bind backend at the same time as the mysql backend (which we
use to blacklisted
malware domains to a harmless IP address) that's When it starts generating the
thousands of 'gmysql
Connection successful' messages. It looks like it might be doing this for each
zone in the bind
config - 15,829 of them. Still starts up both in daemon and non-daemon mode
though.
I've copied the rest of the settings over one by one and it actually all seems
to be working okay now,
aside from the huge amount of mysql connection messages on startup, which seems
to be a combination of
a large bind backend being configured at the same time as a mysql backend.
Commenting out the
'bind-config' line solves this. I'm guessing the crash was being caused by some
sort of strange
formatting error in the configuration file which was largely copy/pasted from
our old installation.
The configuration that seems to cause the huge amount of messages:
launch=bind,gmysql
bind-config=/etc/powerdns/malware.conf
gmysql-host=127.0.0.1
gmysql-user=XXXXX
gmysql-password=XXXXX
gmysql-dbname=powerdns
And a sample of our 'malware.conf' file (auto-generated by a script with data
from
malwaredomains.com):
zone "arena-eg.com" in { type master; file "/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "fzdqjn.cn" in { type master; file "/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "newpartyworld.com" in { type master; file
"/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "enlaceseducativos.com.ar" in { type master; file
"/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "ixeajki.cn" in { type master; file "/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "nkphcoop.com" in { type master; file "/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "reflexoterapiemasaj-vacuum.ro" in { type master; file
"/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "theonscreen.com" in { type master; file "/etc/powerdns/malware.zone";
};
zone "topbusinesscoaches.com" in { type master; file
"/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
zone "vitrineoeste.com.br" in { type master; file
"/etc/powerdns/malware.zone"; };
