Hi,

You cannot get this answer from the authoritative server. You must use a
recursive DNS server for that. You should be talking to a DNS recursor
for client DNS lookups and not the authoritative-only PDNS server. The
recursor will take care of asking the auth server for what it needs.
We used iptables+nat to have the campus hit the pdns-recursor and off-campus,
who should not get recursion, hit the PDNS auth server.
