[Pdns-users] What are the differences between PowerDNS Authoritative Server and Recursor?

[Raghvendra Choudhary]

Hi Team,

I installed the powerDNS server and PowerDNS admin in container and it
works fine. I also added the domain through the UI.


Now i want to know how to resolve the DNS that present in the backend of
the powerDNS.

I am using Mariadb as a backend.

Please help me out this .
