[MaraDNS list] Configuring MaraDNS and Deadwood to work together

[Harlan H. Bloom]

Hi Sam,
  I added your suggestion to the root server list in dwood3rc.  It doesn't look like MaraDNS and Deadwood are talking with each other.

  With Deadwood listening on 127.0.0.2 and MaraDNS on 127.0.0.1, I can do lookups on the internal network, but not on the internet.  If I switch Deadwood and MaraDNS around, with the proper changes, I can do lookups on the internet, but not on the internal network.

  So far, still no go.

Thanks,

Harlan...

Try adding this to Deadwood's configuration file:

root_servers["vpn."] = 127.0.0.1

Mostly, I'm using the "stock" config files, with my internal address put into the /etc/maradns directory and the mararc file pointing the correct file. Like I said, looking up the internal addresses is working just fine, even for the CNAME records. I've tried Googling and even reading several MaraDNS documents, so far without any success.
