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).
