My reply to the Debian bug reports

[Sam Trenholme]

Since Martin Krafft sees fits to file bugs with Debian when having
issues with MaraDNS, I will answer his issues here on the list.

Bug#484466: provide a reload method

Done.  If MaraDNS is started with the Duende daemon, when MaraDNS is
sent a HUP signal, MaraDNS will stop, exit with code 8, which Duende
knows is a signal to immediately restart MaraDNS.

"restarting maradns takes a long time"

1) Replace your 386 with a new Dell desktop.  They're only about $300

2) Don't have so many zone files.

Bug#486497: seemingly arbitrary restriction not to bind to 0.0.0.0

There's an undocumented fix for this: Use the csv2_synthip_list mararc
variable.  Now, using the 0.0.0.0 IP address may cause problems (BIND
seems to not like transferring zones from something bound to 0.0.0.0),
so you have been warned.

And, oh, all Kai can do is email the bug reports to me.  Since I don't
answer MaraDNS concerns except through this list, all he can do is
forward these back to the Debian bug database.
