It's not a problem: your recursor can be behind NAT on a private IP address.  Only your auth server needs to be accessible from the Internet - and even then, only if you want your domains to be resolvable externally (in which case, please also read RFC2182 and set up at least one secondary on a remote network)


So how is this supposed to work? Can I still use PowerDNS or will I have to find another solution that has the same features as PowerDNS 4.0.9?

dnsdist is overkill here.  For a small home network:

- stick your recursor(s) on a private IP

- stick your authoritative on a public IP (if required to be reachable from outside)

- on your recursor, configure any private non-delegated domains, i.e. those without NS records in the public DNS, to forward those queries to the authoritative server.

For example:

forward-zones-file=/etc/powerdns/forward.zones

and in that file you could put:

int.example.com=192.168.1.53
168.192.in-addr.arpa=192.168.1.53
10.in-addr.arpa=192.168.1.53
+.=9.9.9.9

The last line is optional: it says to forward all other queries upstream to 9.9.9.9 and to request recursion.  This is if you want to use an upstream filtered DNS service.  Remove it and your recursor will follow the DNS delegation tree as normal.

If you don't like this, you might want to use a different DNS server.  PowerDNS is designed for large ISP-scale applications where separation of recursor and authoritative roles is an absolute must.

HTH,
