Julian,

You have configured your computer to send recursive queries to your
authoritative powerdns server.

For this to work, you need to install the recursor as well, and point the
authoritative server to it, using the 'recursor=127.0.0.1' line (for
example) in the configuration.

The recursor runs on 127.0.0.1 by default, but make sure your auth server is
not already bound to 0.0.0.0 (and thus to 127.0.0.1).

Good luck!
