[Pdns-users] help to combine authorative and recursor

[Rene Stoutjesdijk]

Goodday,
i've installed recently for testing purposes the powerdns (master
authorative) on a fresh ubuntu (bionic) server.

First let me start by saying that the products look fine and i'm primarily
interested in the mysql backend.

A remark for the installation:
on a fresh bioninc server it will not install as it misses the libluajit
package, which also seems a bit hard to install until you add the keyword
universe to the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list
So this is may be an advice for doing a small update on the bionic
installation procedure.

The help question:
Now i wanted to combine ( i know it's not advised) the authoritative server
also to be acting as the recursor.
I've used the settings on:
https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/recursion/

But the keywords recursor and allow-recursion seems to be invaid keywords,
see journal statements:
