Software update: PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.1.2
PowerDNS is a dns-server with a database as back-end, so that the management of a large number of dns-entries can take place in an easy way. The developers have previously decided to publish the two parts that make up PowerDNS, a recursor and a authoritative nameserver separately, so that they can release a new version faster and more accurately, according to the developers. The authoritative nameserver will only respond to a dns look-up if it relates to the domains for which it is responsible. The developers have released PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.1.2. The changes to this release are as follows:
Improvements
- API: increase serial after dnssec related updates
- Auth: lower ‘packet too short’ loglevel
- Make check-zone error on rows that have content but should not
- Auth: avoid an isan amount of new backend connections during an ax
- Report unparseable data in incr invalid_argument exception
- Backport: recheck serial when axfr is done
- Backport: add tcp support for alias
Bug Fixes
- Auth: allocate new statements after reconnecting to postgresql
- Auth-binding backend: only compare ips in ismaster () (Kees Monshouwer)
- Rather than crash, sheepishly report no file / linenum
- Document undocumented config vars
- Backport # 6276 (auth 4.1.x): prevent cname + other data with dnsupdate
