dnsdist does not 'think' about DNS, and does not perform any kind of
caching, nor is it aware of the quality of the answers it is relaying.
-dnsdist assumes that each query leads to exactly one response, which is true
-for all DNS except for AXFR, which is therefore not supported.

The goal for dnsdist is to remain simple. If more powerful loadbalancing is
required, dedicated hardware or software is recommended. Linux Virtual
Server for example is often mentioned.
-V,--version
: Show the dnsdist version and exit.
+-v,--verbose
+: Be verbose.

ADDRESS
: Any number of downstream DNS servers, in the same syntax as used with
**--local**. If the port is not specified, 53 is used.
