Hi everybody, Just as a heads up for PowerDNS Recursor users, it is being reported that the root-servers are having problems. The Recursor will shift to alternate servers, but performance may be impacted for everyone, since we'll be using slower servers and possibly over TCP/IP instead of UDP.
As an alternative, the PowerDNS Recursor can run with a local copy of the root, like this: auth-zones=.=root.zone To get the root-zone, either do: dig -t axfr . @f.root-servers.net > root.zone Or download it from http://www.internic.net/domain/root.zone Be sure to only do this either temporarily, or automate the downloading of new root.zone files! Good luck! PS: If you want to get realtime insight into your Recursor's performance, ponder setting up graphing or use our 'graphing as a service' as described on http://blog.powerdns.com/2014/12/11/powerdns-graphing-as-a-service/ (free).
