[Pdns-users] How to make Authoritative work?

[jrd-pdns at jrd.org]

. . . but when I query direct to the pdns, it also doesn't say it's
authoritative.  See previous mail.

I probably need to go back and re-read the DNS specs.  It's been years
since I was deep into this, but I don't remember that a recursor
always returns non-authoritative, even when wherever it got the answer
was authoritative.  Did that behaviour change somewhere along in
there? 

Assuming I'm simply mis-remembering how that's supposed to work,
what's the recipe for setting up a local (set of) server(s) which:
  .  Returns authoritative for some zones, for which it has local data
  .  Recurses to other servers for other zones

And for anything like that to work, I need my local pdns to beleive
it's authoritative, which it still doesn't seem to.

Any pointers to docs describing that configuration appreciated.

    No need.  You asked why the response didn't have the AA flag set, and 
    the answer is because the response came from a recursor - it's as simple 
    as that.
