Package: pdnsd Version: 1.2.6-par-11 Severity: normal The manpage implies that with interval=ontimeout, once a server times out, it is disabled. What would be ideal is that once all servers were disabled, pdnsd would automatically start from a state of having them all enabled again, just to check whether anything has come good yet.
If it already does this, could such an explanation be added to the manpage please? (I seem to need this option because the backup server here, at another geographical site, doesn't even answer null queries, let alone pings, so it appears dead permanently. Hence, I need to set ontimeout in order to enable it for the occasions when the primary dies). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pdnsd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages pdnsd recommends: ii resolvconf 1.42 name server information handler pdnsd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * pdnsd/conf: Manual -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
