Hi,

first please don't reply offlist.

Your recursor.conf should minimally look like this:

- --------------CUT--------------
daemon=yes
local-port=5353
local-address=127.0.0.1
allow-from=_YOUR_LOCAL_NETMASK_,127.0.0.1
- --------------CUT--------------

regarding recursion, your pdns.conf should look like this:

- --------------CUT--------------
allow-recursion=_YOUR_LOCAL_NETMASK_,127.0.0.1
recursor=127.0.0.1:5353
- --------------CUT--------------

After you have made the changes, be sure that you _restart_ (not reload)
both the recursor and the main pdns process.

If that does not help, post the contents of your recursor.conf & pdns.conf.
