Hi Adriel Torres, Thanks for the reply. I am aware that it has two packages but I am wondering if I could configure the pdns-recursor stand alone to work as non-recursive? I guess I can not.
Also could you please tell in brief how does the pdns-server (PowerDNS Auth Server) works exactly? I am confused after reading so many things on internet. Thanks.
