since version 1.4.0, dnsdist seems not to write a pid file anymore. this results in a "crashed" service, yet the process is running fine. current behavior: ----------------- # /etc/init.d/dnsdist start * Checking configuration file (/etc/dnsdist/dnsdist.conf) ...

This got fixed now. Thanks for reporting, sorry for the delay!
