Hmm...I read the docs on recursion again (which I already read a few
times) and someone this time I got it.
I added google's dns server 8.8.8.8 into the recursor and now external
recursion works.
There must be a reason why this is off by default. Potential security
issues?
If this method works, why is there need for pdns's own recursor server?
Thanks.

Basically it checks local data first before recursing to external

off doesn't lower amount av log enterys, actually it doesn't have any
effect at all.
You can read the docs here http://doc.powerdns.com/recursion.html

Subject: [Pdns-users] lazy-recursion
Hi all,
Hope someone can help to answer this noob question.
My pdns has gone live. Yeah. But I am seeing a lot of recursion error
which is fine as i know those are external domains not authoritive in
the pdns server.
But can I "fix" this by enabling lazy-recursion? Currently it is
commented out. But default is yes??
Or do i need to install recursor?
What's the difference between lazy-recursion and recursor?
Thanks.
