Installing and configuring pdns-recursor takes less than 2 minutes. Reading the docs to know what knobs to turn takes 5 min: http://doc.powerdns.com/built-in-recursor.html#recursor-settings These time estimates assume one has prerequisite background knowledge. I've been using pdns-recursor for years on my MX hosts. Rock solid, no problems. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
