But when we run it against our recursor, things go terribly wrong. The dnscheck script just runs on, without noticeable problems, but, resolving domains on the recursor fails. The recursor responds with serv fail, and even nxdomain. A restart is necessary to get it op and running again.

It was a bug! We believe it is fixed in SVN revision http://wiki.powerdns.com/trac/changeset/2380
