I am using PowerDns on a Linux box (Debian 6).

I would like to set up the powerdns server to resolve all externally unresolved DNS queries to a given, internal host. Is this possible? How is it done? I think it's necessary to use pdns-recursor, but my configuration file doesn't works !

I use mysql for backend.

I add manually google.com and it's works, but if I delete entry I have "server failed", root dns (or isp dns) don't answer me.
