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. + + |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| +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. |
