Though I see a problem with testnet DNS seed itself. It&#xA;runs, but somehow it only returns one IP address. Exactly same DNS seeder&#xA;looking for mainnet nodes is working fine.&#xA;&#xA;You can reach seeds through&#xA;mainnet seed:&#xA;dig @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me A&#xA;or directly&#xA;dig -p 8353 @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me A&#xA;&#xA;testnet seed&#xA;dig @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me A&#xA;or directly&#xA;dig -p 18353 @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me A&#xA;&#xA;So what can be the problem with testnet DNS seeder?&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Best regards,&#xA;Alex Kotenko&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;2014-05-20 1:50 GMT+01:00 Robert McKay &lt;robert at mckay.com&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; On Tue, 20 May 2014 01:44:29 +0100, Robert McKay wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt; On Mon, 19 May 2014 19:49:52 -0400, Jeff Garzik wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 4:36 PM, Robert McKay &lt;robert at mckay.com&gt;&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; It should be possible to configure bind as a DNS forwarder.. this&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; can&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; be done in a zone context.. then you can forward the different&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; zones&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; to&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; different dnsseed daemons running on different non-public IPs or&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; two&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; different ports on the same IP (or on one single non-public IP&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; since&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; there&#39;s really no reason to expose the dnsseed directly daemon at&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; all).&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; Quite the opposite.  dnsseed data rotates through a lot of addresses&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; if available.  Using the bind/zone-xfer system would result in fewer&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; total addresses going through to the clients, thanks to the addition&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; of caching levels that the bind/zone-xfer system brings.&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; That said, if the choice is between no-service and bind, bind it is&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; ;p&#xA;&gt; &gt;&#xA;&gt; &gt; Setting it up as a zone forwarder causes each request to go through&#xA;&gt; &gt; to&#xA;&gt; &gt; the dnsseed backend for each request.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; This stackoverflow describes a similar situation;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15338232/how-to-forward-a-subzone&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; you can additionally specify the port to forward too;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/queries.html#forwarders&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; it should be possible to forward to different ports on 127.0.0.1 for&#xA;&gt; each dnsseed instance.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Rob&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt; &#34;Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE&#xA;&gt; Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.&#xA;&gt; Get unparalleled scalability from the best Selenium testing platform&#xA;&gt; available&#xA;&gt; Simple to use.
