</div>Either you can't reach 196.200.16.8 and friends, or they are treating you in a different way, perhaps because you are in the same network.<br>
<br>
Note that your log does not at all match your config - your config mentioned forward-zones-recurse, but you are querying remote auths individually.<br>
<br>
Also note that you have two .= entries in forward-zones-recurse - PowerDNS will only use the last one.<br>
