# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
|
|
|
|
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
|
|
|
|
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
|
|
|
|
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also

# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

pdns-recursor: pdns-recursor (high-performance recursive resolver)
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor:
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: PowerDNS consists of two parts: the Authoritative Server
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: and the Recursor. Other nameservers fully combine these functions,
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: PowerDNS offers them separately, but can mix both authoritative and
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: recursive usage seamlessly. The Authoritative Server will answer
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: questions about domains it knows about, but will not go out on the net
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: to resolve queries about other domains. However, it can use a
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: recursing backend to provide that functionality. Depending on your
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: needs, this backend can either be the PowerDNS recursor or an external
|
|
|
|
pdns-recursor: one.
