That's not correct. Big-endian architectures use network byte order - 
little-endian systems do not.

It seems that the id sent by the recursor is in little endian format, 
so line setting the id must be changed in pdns_recursor too.

Simply use the ntohs() and htons() macros. They do conversion 
automatically dependent on your machine:

pdns_recursor: ((u_int16_t*) buffer)[0] = htons( d.id );
pdns_server: d.id = ntohs( ((u_int16_t*) buffer)[0] );
