Where is the open recursion test?

[Peter Dambier]

just try

dig -t any peter-dambier.de @<your-server>

If it tells you something about denic it is not recursive.
If you get the complete answer it is very likely recursive.

Something internal could have triggered the query but only
if your server is in /etc/resolv.conf.

Kind regards
Peter
