[MaraDNS list] Configuring MaraDNS and Deadwood to work together

[Sam Trenholme]

This should work:

root_servers = {}
# ICANN DNS root servers (Deadwood default if both root_servers and
# upstream_servers are not defined)
root_servers["."]="198.41.0.4, 192.228.79.201, 192.33.4.12, 128.8.10.90, "
root_servers["."]+="192.203.230.10, 192.5.5.241, 192.112.36.4, 128.63.2.53, "
root_servers["."]+="192.36.148.17, 192.58.128.30, 193.0.14.129, 199.7.83.42, "
root_servers["."]+="202.12.27.33"
root_servers[".vpn"] = "127.0.0.2"
# Our IP
bind_address="127.0.0.1"

# The IPs allowed to connect and use the cache
recursive_acl = "127.0.0.1/16"
chroot_dir = "/etc/maradns"

If it doesn't, please post your dwood3rc and mararc files here so I
can debug them.

>> Hello,

>> However, when I dig @127.0.0.2 ns1.vpn, I get back the usual response from Deadwood that it can't find the address. When I dig @127.0.0.2 www.yahoo.com, it responds correctly.

>> I tried putting the root servers configuration into the mararc file; that didn't help MaraDNS find an internet address when did the dig command.
>>
>> I'm sure that I've got the configuration files messed up somehow. 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.
