DNS does not work like that, there is no 'forwarding to the rootservers'.
However, in your case, you need to launch the pdns_recursor as well as the
main pdns server, and point the main pdns server at your recursor. Then it
will do everything.

How do you know? Do you raise the SOA serial on update? PowerDNS does not
notify its slaves otherwise.

Please show select * from domains, and select * from records of the relevant
domain.

Thanks.
