[Pdns-users] Call for recursive testing data - please help!
Dear PowerDNS users, PowerDNS Recursor 3.1.5 is around the corner, shaping up to be a rather important upgrade, and we need your help! 3.1.5 is in large scale production use in some places already, which has helped shake out a number of bugs. Our internal test procedures consist of verifying PowerDNS Recursor answers against previously recorded traffic, and for this purpose we have lots of test data, but this data is getting old, and we need new data. You can help us tremendously by recording DNS data to your resolvers, and sending it to us in anonymised form. We even provide tools to anonymise traffic. To record traffic, run on your recursor: # tcpdump -p -C 200 -s 1500 -w for-powerdns port 53 Then anonimise using 'dnswasher': # for a in for-powerdns* ; do dnswasher $a washed-$a; done The resulting washed-* files do not contain IP addresses of your customers anymore, which can be verified with tcpdump. A binary Linux copy of dnswasher can be found on http://svn.powerdns.com/dnswasher.bz2 - it can also be compiled from the PowerDNS sources. We are looking for gigabytes of data, the command above will generate 200MB files. The more data you can send, the better it is for us. Please contact me on how to transfer these files to me. We will treat your anonymised data as confidential, of course.

Hi Bert, I donĀ“t run the recursor myself just the authorative server. Will authorative data be ok as well?

Not at this time, but many thanks! Some recursive data has already come in, but we still need more.
