Debian Edu installs and activate pdns-recursor, yes. > In a "normal" (as in no DebianEdu) installation of pdns, it's > easiest done be defining recursor=10.0.2.1 in > /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf, or maybe in /etc/powerdns/pdns.d/pdns.local Testing seem to indicate that this work. Thank for the tip. I guess this should be mentioned in the documentation. > Not sure how an automatic setup could resolv this.

Perhaps test if external DNS work with the DNS server fetched from DHCP if it fail when trying directly. Should be possible to do in the installer.
