Before I pull much more hair out, I thought I'd toss this up to the list to see if anyone has experienced this in the past (or has better google-foo than I)

I'm slaving a zone from 208.78.69.112, I'm able to pull the zone manually using dig, but it does go a little slower than I would expect. Pdns just times out.. over and over... Is there a way to increase the timeout? or is there something that I'm missing. The zone itself does not appear to be malformed.. the nameserver I'm pulling from is just slow..

another issue that I've run into was another slave zone. This had pdns cycling every 2-3 seconds

Jun 7 00:48:44 ns1 pdns[10216]: Initiating transfer of 'axxxxxxxa.us' from remote '216.117.186.93' Jun 7 00:48:45 ns1 pdns[10216]: AXFR started for 'axxxxxxxa.us', transaction started Jun 7 00:48:45 ns1 pdns[10216]: Communicator thread died because of error: Failed to execute mysql_query, perhaps connection died?

Jun  7 00:48:47 ns1 pdns[10258]: Guardian is launching an instance

Simply removing the zone puts everything back in a happy state, so It's not a timeout issue. Are there any debugging options that can be turned on for the mysql backend? I didn't find any referenced in the documentation and increasing the loglevel doesn't give me any additional information.

I've pulled down the zone and besides the laundry list of different record types, it looks fine. I can sanitize it an post it if that would help.

The pdns version is the static .deb package from the main download page.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary
