    @Spirogg - he linked that article in his original post. @jagonoja - could you let us know what kernel you're running? If it's very out of date, it's possible there may not be a good fix for this issue.

    Thank you for your reply. My kernel is: 2.6.32-042stab138.1 VPS running CentOS 7.9 Just to make myself more clear: I don't necessarily want to run PowerDNS. I can do with BIND. But I certainly would like for the system not to attempt to run PowerDNS every few minutes, when it's using BIND perfectly well.

    Can you send me the output of this command? rpm -qa | grep -i pdns

    Interesting - could you submit a ticket to our team so we can look at the system?

    I could, but I think I would deny server access. The issue is not worth the risk.

    Can you let me know the output of this command? /scripts/setupnameserver --current

    Thank you for trying to help! Current nameserver type: bind
    the cPanel interface also confirms BIND is active. Anyway, I looked at /var/log/messages again and the PowerDNS message is not coming up anymore. So maybe it's not really an issue after all.

    That's odd, but I'm glad you're no longer receiving those notifications.
