You point the authoritative server to whatever machine you have 
pdns_recursor running on. They both can be running on the same server. My 
PowerDNS authoritative daemon and my recursor are both running on the same 
computer, and I just point the main (authoritative) daemon to 127.0.0.1.

Check the list archive. I just recently (within the last week or two)  
posted the relevant portion of my config file to this mailing list.
