Dear tagattie! First of all thank you for the port!

For the problem I want to report I already have a fix for: The
powernds-recursor could not be restarted on two of my machines with `service
pdns-recursor restart` and produced an error message

```
[...]
Mar 07 00:56:53 Exception: Resolver binding to server socket on port 53 for
*.*.*.*: Address already in use
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pdns-recursor: WARNING: failed to start pdns_recursor
```

and after reading the terminal output a little further I noticed another line
saying:

`pdns_recursor not running? (check /var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.pid).`

I found out, that there was no pid-file ever created in that location and was
able to fix it by adding `socket-dir=/var/run/pdns-recursor` to the
`/usr/local/etc/pdns/recursor.conf`. I now wonder if that should not be its
default value ever since bug 244657
