It indeed returns with the authoritative answer, but I believe my
expectation was that since recursion is desired, and there is a
pdns-recursor available, that it would do the deed.  Mainly that dig or
nslookup off of the pdns-authoritative server, with recursion enabled,
would end up with an actual PTR answer. You mention that BIND just happens
to do both at the same time..is that something that PDNS can't do, or
something I'm doing wrong, or in general a false perception of what is
right?


Here you ask with the "rd" aka recursion desired flag and it appears that

Querying the pdns-recursor directly does return the proper result, however
ARIN isn't set to point to this pool of pdns servers and thus this
recursion is likely interacting with BIND which is still authoritative for
the reverse in-addr.arpa zone....none of which helps my troubleshooting

[root at lga1dns1 amc]# dig -p 5300 ptr 100.94.145.204.in-addr.arpa @127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.30.rc1.el6_6.1 <<>> -p 5300 ptr
100.94.145.204.in-addr.arpa @127.0.0.1
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;100.94.145.204.in-addr.arpa.   IN      PTR

;; ANSWER SECTION:
100.94.145.204.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN    PTR     lopfar.net.



Thanks
