Re: [MaraDNS list] Configuring MaraDNS and Deadwood to work together

Excellent.  To be honest, Harlan, I myself had exact the same problem
when setting up Deadwood on one of my VMs a couple of months ago.
Don't thank me for my help; thank JFC Morfin whose generous
sponsorship makes it possible for me to spend more than one day a
month baby sitting MaraDNS.

I have added some code so Deadwood will refuse to start if one has a
bind_address not in recursive_acl (telling people what the offending
bind_address is):

http://maradns.org/deadwood/snap/deadwood-S-20111009-1.tar.bz2

And, on that note, I am done with MaraDNS and Deadwood updates until
the end of the month, barring receiving more sponsorship.  I have been
ignoring my beautiful wife because of this issue.

I would like to again thank JFC Morfin for his generous sponsorship,
and for letting me tell me wife "Sorry about ignoring you, but I did
get paid for this work".  :)
