I understand fully the issues you explained. But I have one concern about it. I violate the FHS (2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of the FHS) if I add a /run directory. That's why I asked for /var/run/powerdns. What are your thoughts about that ? Don't see it wrong that I don't want to follow your suggestion. But /var/run/powerdns is in my eyes the best option we have. The first one is idd easy to implement. The second one is I think also easy, I only need to add a call at start of pdns. I think I go for /var/run/powerdns and implement the 2 points.
