Change Details

I use dnscrypt-proxy as my main dns server for vyos. This is for 2 reasons: 1) I want to use odoh 2) I want to have adblocking I have setup services listening on different local link ip addresses from 169.254.0.0/16. However when one of them times out (because that's the nature of the beast with odoh) both get blocked and pdns doesn't work anymore :(. Restarting the forwarder instantly fixes the problem :) - but that's not ideal. I did some research and i found that there is a way to not throttle certain name servers! https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/settings.html#dont-throttle-netmasks I first added those ip addresses with rec_control to my running vyos instance. ``` rec_control --socket-dir=/run/powerdns add-dont-throttle-netmasks 169.254.169.254 169.254.169.255 ``` That seemed to have worked and timeouts were ignored.

Another thing that will work is to add the option to enable serving stale records - serving something is better than nothing.
