No. I can see why it doesn't help as well since this option is intended to allow Internet addresses to be overridden. What I am querying is at what steps the recursion occurs. If I query my recursor enabled pdns server, which is authoritative on a domain but which has only CNAME records, for one of those records then surely it will: - look up the result for the query - find that it's a CNAME and recurse on the value of the CNAME eg: I look up for www.X.com which is CNAMEd to realserver.Y.com and the server does this: lookup www.X.com results in CNAME realserver.Y.com recurse for realserver.Y.com respond with the result but this is not what powerdns seems to do.
