Ok, fine.

This is what I meant. The pdns_server must use pdns_recursor (or some 
other recursing name server) to resolv external addresses, because it 
can't be done by pdns_server itself. Usually PDNS setups are similar 
like this:

pdns_server is listening for ALL dns requests from the clients. Then 
it decides if it can resolve the name by using one of its backends or 
if recursion is required. I'm unsure if pdns_server can use 
resolv.conf to get the address of the recursive name server, so I 
pointed out the config file options in pdns.conf

I can't say anything about this, because I don't use PDNS as a slave.
