I have two nameservers in my /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 10.10.10.11 nameserver 10.10.10.12
Now, the named daemon on 10.10.10.11 was stopped. The one on 10.10.10.12 was still up. SpamAssassin, which is also running on 10.10.10.11, suddenly threw these errors upon every dns request:
Jun 26 19:49:36 lxrouter spampd[16461]: dns: sendto() failed: Connection refused at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/DnsResolver.pm line 366, <_GEN_2> line 85. Jun 26 19:49:36 lxrouter spampd[16461]: plugin: eval failed: oops, no key at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/AsyncLoop.pm line 120, <_GEN_2> line 85.
Isn't SpamAssassin supposed to try the next nameserver from resolv.conf on such a hard error? I expected that it would transparently fail over to 10.10.10.12 and use that server. Nothing else in my network encountered a problem with dns during the outtime, only Spamassassin.
