<div dir="ltr">Thanks Aki,<div><br></div><div>I have pdns-recursor running on the same severs so have recursor=<a href="http://127.0.0.1:54">127.0.0.1:54</a> configured within my pdns.conf file. Recursion seems to works fine when recursing for domains we are not authoritative for but for sub domain delegation the answer is not fully recursed and only the NS record is returned. I wondered if it was possible to change this behavior and return the fully recursed record?<br>

<br>
pdns authoritative server does not recurse by default. to get same functionality as your windows dns server, i do recommend putting recursor in front of the<br>
auth server, and configure forward-zones setting for the auth domains. it won't be as automatic, but it works better.<br>
