> Dear "PowerDNS MailGroup",<br>
> <br>
> My name is Nacho, and I am a university student currently studying Computer Science. I’m working on my final-year project, which involves setting up a system that allows resolution of personal names using PowerDNS.<br>
> <br>
> The goal is to configure PowerDNS so that it first checks an A record in a MySQL backend, and if the record is not found o if database does´not respond, it should forward the query to an external DNS server, such as Google’s (8.8.8.8).<br>
> <br>
> From what I’ve read, this setup used to be possible directly with PowerDNS, but now it seems that the use of a separate PowerDNS Recursor in front is required. I’ve tried configuring it myself, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make it work properly.<br>
> <br>
> If someone could share a working configuration for both PowerDNS Authoritative and PowerDNS Recursor (for the current versions), or point me to a complete example, I would be truly grateful.<br>

> Thank you in advance for your time and help.<br>
