Hi,
I am installing pdns auth an recursor on my server to make some tests
but I have a question. Could it be possible to configure recursor to
handle all the request from computers and configure only to forward
internal domains to auth server?
Yes. Look at the "forward-zones" and "forward-zones-file" options.

Does it make sense?
Yes if you have internal-only domains which are not visible on the
public Internet (i.e. there are no NS records pointing to the
authoritative nameservers, and/or the authoritative nameservers are not
reachable from the Internet)
Since the recursor has a cache to store dns queries, wouldn´t be a
better performance solution?
A better performance solution than what?
You cannot simply point the clients directly at an authoritative server;
you must point them at a recursor. Actually, pdns authoritative used to
have a built-in recursor option, but this was removed in 4.1.0.

One final hint: if you're on Ubuntu 16.04, make sure that you're not
using the pdns auth server in the Ubuntu repositories. It is an alpha
release which is buggy. Use the repositories at https://repo.powerdns.com/
