<p>It depends - you have not given enough information yet.</p>
1. PowerDNS is split into different packages, including "powerdns
authoritative server" and "powerdns recursor"
<p>For what you are trying to do, you need "powerdns recursor". Is
that what you have installed?</p>
2. What version did you install?<br>
<br>
And where did you download it from? Did you get a pre-built package
for your OS, or did you build it from source, or something else?<br>
<p>3. You need to show the contents of your configuration file
(recursor.conf)</p>
<p>Note: documentation can be found at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://doc.powerdns.com/md/recursor/settings/">https://doc.powerdns.com/md/recursor/settings/</a> (that's for 4.x, so
if you have an older version, there are different URLs for those)<br>
</p>
4. What did you put in your /etc/resolv.conf when you were trying to
use nslookup?<br>
<br>
If you pointed to nameserver 127.0.0.1 then I note that the
recursor's default "allow-from" setting does not include 127.0.0.1.
Try setting your server's external IP address (192.168.1.x) instead.<br>
<br>
5. Do you see anything in log files? e.g. /var/log/syslog,
/var/log/messages<br>
<br>
