I just updated my system glibc to version 2.10.1 and this update seems to have broken my caching name server pdnsd.
A caching name server stores all recent DNS lookups into a local cache so that any subsequent lookups of the same address are much faster. The caching name server I use is pdnsd because it preserves all DNS lookups at system shutdown. But now pdnsd does not work and the only change has been the new glibc update. Re-emerging pdnsd with the new glibc does not fix this. Before I file yet another bug report I want to request a confirmation. Are there any pdnsd users that have updated glibc to 2.10.1 and now have a broken pdnsd? Until this problem is resolved I have switched to using named from the BIND package as a caching name server, but named is a heavyweight compared to pdnsd and does not preserve the cache at shutdown.
