I am trying to get dnstap to work with pdns-recursor 4.3.1-1pdns.bionic from the powerdns repo, under Ubuntu 18.04, but failing.

I want to send to a remote network destination.  I've added one line to /etc/powerdns/recursor.lua, so it now looks like this:

-- Debian default Lua configuration file for PowerDNS Recursor

-- Load DNSSEC root keys from dns-root-data package.
-- Note: If you provide your own Lua configuration file, consider
-- running rootkeys.lua too.
dofile("/usr/share/pdns-recursor/lua-config/rootkeys.lua")

*dnstapFrameStreamServer("10.12.255.44:5453", {logQueries=true})*

When I restart pdns-recursor, the following is logged to journald:

Jun 21 19:10:20 cache2 systemd[1]: Started PowerDNS Recursor.

tcpdump shows no attempt to make an outbound connection on tcp (or udp) port 5453.

I realise "family 2" means INET6, but I can't see why it thinks that's IPv6.  The error appears to be from around here: https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/pdns/pdns_recursor.cc#L987

Have I got the Lua syntax wrong?  According to the docs it can be either a single string or a list; I get the same result with

dnstapFrameStreamServer({"10.12.255.44:5453"}, {logQueries=true})

which matches the test case:

regression-tests.recursor-dnssec/test_RecDnstap.py:dnstapFrameStreamServer({"%s"}, {logQueries=false})

although that test is using a Unix domain path.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Brian.

P.S. I can see that the binary was built with --enable-dnstap:
