Recursor only config for localhost

Hello,


Would It be possible to configure BIND to be only a recursor for local  
querries on a different default port than 53?

I have an authoritative server for various zones that I have  
configured using PowerDNS which is already listening on 53.
PowerDNS recursor comes as an add-on and seems to be very weak and slow.
Of course he should not try to resolve querries for local zones that  
are handled by PowerDNS (ideally he should transmit these querries to  
the other DNS server)…


I would like to use regular bind and keep my other server running and  
resolving querries from the Internet for the zones that we are handling.


Do you have any suggestions?
