Try as root. Also, you need rec_control for the pdns_recursor. Do you
actually need authoritative domains? You can run the recursor standalone
without an authoritative frontend.

Oh, I get it, only pdsn_recursor is running! So I used rec_control to

Ah -- so I should modify resolv.conf to point to localhost, right? If
so, that leads to an interesting problem, since resolv.conf is updated
by dhcp. Also, I've seen the nameservers in resolv.conf change from
time to time. Any idea how to get around this?

It is my understanding, that pdns-recursor will never query forwarders,
except for explicitly configured zones (see forward-zones setting).
Instead, it will just query the root nameservers directly; the root
nameserver IP addresses are hard-coded inside the recursor, but you can
override them
