I have a noob question about DNS forwarding - just implemented pdns version 4.2.1 on three servers on separate networks, intending for one to be a master (primary) and the other two to be slaves (secondaries). So far I love it, but I think I may be doing something wrong with DNS forwarding.
I have records for some 383 domains in MySQL as a backend. I have the master set up with: master=yes ... and the slaves set up with: slave=yes ... all in /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf Also the master/slave state is configured on a per domain basis in the domains table with the type column set to either MASTER or SLAVE respectively. The slave has the master node IP addresses set for each domain in the master column in the domains table. dig would seem to indicate that everything is working fine: ========================================== dig soa opensourceserver.io @ns3.opensourceserver.io ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> soa opensourceserver.io @ns3.opensourceserver.io ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6728 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;opensourceserver.io.
