ip_conntrack

Learned the hard way: NEVER COMPILE ip_conntrack into the Linux kernel… 🙂

PowerDNS recursor problems

It seems that PowerDNS‘s pdns_recursor crashes on FreeBSD under load.

I’ve replaced it by a bind recursor. Excerpt from named.conf:


options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";

listen-on port XXXX { 127.0.0.1; };
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

It seems that pdns_recursor from 2.9.19 dies under light load on FreeBSD.
