okay, I've set it up with bind forwarding requests to two dnsseeds running
on separate ports. Though I see a problem with testnet DNS seed itself. It
runs, but somehow it only returns one IP address. Exactly same DNS seeder
looking for mainnet nodes is working fine.

You can reach seeds through
mainnet seed:
dig @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me A
or directly
dig -p 8353 @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me A

testnet seed
dig @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me A
or directly
dig -p 18353 @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me A

So what can be the problem with testnet DNS seeder?


Best regards,
Alex Kotenko
