Installation Notes

This install of "pdnsd" expects config files to be in $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc
All state files (status and cache) are stored in $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/var/cache/pdnsd.

pdnsd needs to run as root since it listens on privileged ports.

Sample config file can be found at $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/pdnsd.conf.sample.

Note that you must create the config file before starting the service,
and change ownership to "root" or pdnsd will refuse to run:
  sudo chown root $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/pdnsd.conf

For other related utilities, e.g. pdnsd-ctl, to run, change the ownership
to the user (default: nobody) running the service:
  sudo chown -R nobody $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/var/log/pdnsd.log $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/var/cache/pdnsd
