Are 192.168.68.63/64 authoritative-only servers (like pdns auth), or 
mixed recursor+authoritative (like bind)?

If they are authoritative-only, this implies the recursor can never 
resolve a public DNS name. In that case, the recursor seems to serve 
little purpose: you could point the clients directly at the 
authoritatives, or use dnsdist to forward the queries.

If they are mixed, and you want to be able to resolve names in the 
public DNS, then you will need "+." in your forward-zones-file in the 
pdns recursor.
