From Mageia wiki
Basic testing procedure from https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4118#c1 (I don't know if the first part is still necessary)
After installing, edit /etc/maradns/mararc.recursive and set recursive_acl = "192.168.1.0/16, 127.0.0.1/8"
Then, after "service maradns start" "dig @127.0.0.1 www.mageia.org" returns the ip, with a second run returning the value from the cache.
