dns recursive queries is not a valid parameter in the 4.0 series.
The parameter you need to set to get recursive queries in 4.0 and 4.1 is

dns forwarder = <ip address of forwarder>

Arguably we should reenable recursive queries even without a forwarder at some
point, but the above setting should fix your issue.
