I created a CNAME record for www.test.com that points to a real

www.test.com, it doesn't come back with the IP from my CNAME record

DNS.
I'm guessing you've configured it to recurse; it will try to query
recursively first, unless 'allow-recursion-override' is set to "yes". I
don't recommend enabling recursion on authoritative nameservers, however.
Take a look at http://doc.powerdns.com/recursion.html for more
information on recursion features of PowerDNS.
1. Is this the correct format for a CNAME record?
INSERT INTO records (domain_id, name, content, type,ttl) VALUES
(1,'www.test.com','host.mydomain.com','CNAME',120);
This is correct, yes.
2. Should PowerDNS EVER send a recursive lookup for a domain that is
listed in its domains table? Seems like it should recognize it is the
authority and always respond.
No, this is normal; see the link I pasted above for more.
