Problems with pdnsd

Hi.

If this is more fit for the newbie forum, please let me know.

I'm having problems with pdnsd.

EDIT2: It seems the problems is rather something with the information given by dhcpcd for the domain - look at the bottom of the post.

resolv.conf gets updated with domain and my local pdnsd server address.
pdnsd-resolv.conf gets updated with dns servers on the network I'm on.

After running

resolvconf -u

followed by

systemctl restart pdnsd

, everything
works fine for a few queries. After that, everything starts behaving a bit
strange. Suddenly, looking up addresses I know are in my cache hangs too, and

nslookup

times out or uses a very long time (even for addresses from cache
- 7 seconds and similar). And then the problem goes away. And comes back..

I get some errors when starting pdnsd (look at the bottom). Could this be some
sort of ipv4/ipv6 issue?

Any idea what might be the cause of this and how to fix it? It's *very*
annoying hmm

Here's my config files:

/etc/resolvconf.conf:

    resolv_conf=/etc/resolv.conf
    name_servers=127.0.0.1
    pdnsd_resolv=/etc/pdnsd-resolv.conf

/etc/pdnsd.conf:

    global {
        perm_cache=10240;
        cache_dir="/var/cache/pdnsd";
        run_as="pdnsd";
        server_ip = 127.0.0.1;
        status_ctl = on;
        min_ttl=3h;
        max_ttl=1w;
        timeout=10;
        neg_domain_pol=on;
        udpbufsize=1024;
    }

    server {
        label= "resolvconf";
        file = "/etc/pdnsd-resolv.conf";
        proxy_only=on;
        timeout=4;
        uptest=if;
        interface = any;
        interval=10;
        purge_cache=off;
        preset=off;
    }

The setup is taken from the pdnsd archwiki page.

pdnsd.service errors:

Succeeded

EDIT2: It looks like *a lot* of queries are wasted on searching the domain records.
Here's the output of resolv.conf:

domain hioa.no
search hioa.no ada.hioa.no hio.no
nameserver 127.0.0.1

If I stop dhcpcd and comment out the domain and search path, everything runs smoothly.
How can I avoid having every query also try '*.hioa.no'? When finding a record for 'google.com', how can I avoid looking up 'google.com.hioa.no'
