Hi,
I understand that pdns_recursor was written with the assumption that it
will be used mainly in a ISP/Hoster Enviroment where only non rfc1918
Addresses are queried and queries to rfc1918 reverse zones are just
misconfiguration.
But because pdns_recursor is so much faster as bind and one gets not an
update of the binaries every 2 weeks, I'd like to use it in an typical
company internal environment with rfc1918 addresses.
What I found out is that one has to do the following unintuitive
configuration:
serve-rfc1918=false
dont-query=255.255.255.255/32
I know that changing these variable names will break every existing
configuration but maybe you could add aliases and detect if a
configuration uses an alias and original variable and only stop then.
I'd suggest serve-rfc1918 to be aliased as serve-rfc1918-default and the
help text could read "Serves RFC1918 reverse zones with NXDOMAINs.
Lowers the load on the root nameservers."
For dont-query I think that there should be at least a "defaults to
192...." in pdns_recursor --help.
I didn't find the button "create account here" in trac, so I can only
send you this enhancement request by eMail.
Best regards Thomas
