I have found that the issue that I previously reported with systemctl
hanging when starting pdns-recursor is due to my pdns_recursor
configuration having a chroot in it and it looks like I have to modify
the setup for chroot to work under system (though I didn't have any
problems with the previous version of pdns_recursor).
