---aaaa-additional-processing
-: Turn on to do AAAA additional processing (slow).
-
--allow-from=*NETWORK*[,*NETWORK*]...
: If set, only allow these comma separated *NETWORK*s, with network mask to
recurse. For example: 192.0.2.0/24,203.0.113.128/25.
---auth-can-lower-ttl
-: Authoritative zones can transmit a TTL value that is lower than that
- specified in the parent zone. This is called a 'delegation inconsistency'.
- To follow RFC 2181 paragraphs 5.2 and 5.4 to the letter, enable this
- feature. This will mean a slight deterioration of performance, and it will
- not solve any problems, but does make the recursor more standards
- compliant. Not recommended unless you have to tick an 'RFC 2181 compliant'
- box. Off by default.
-
--auth-zones=*ZONENAME*=*FILENAME*[,*ZONENAME*=*FILENAME*]...
: Serve *ZONENAME* from *FILENAME* authoritatively. For example:
ds9a.nl=/var/zones/ds9a.nl,powerdns.com=/var/zones/powerdns.com.
: If set, this flag will export the hostnames and IP addresses mentioned in
/etc/hosts.
---fork
-: If set, fork the daemon for possible double performance.
-
--forward-zones=*ZONENAME*=*ADDRESS*[,*ZONENAME*=*ADDRESS*]...
: Queries for *ZONENAME* will be forwarded to *ADDRESS*. *ADDRESS*
should be an IP address, not a hostname (to prevent chicken and egg
--quiet
: Suppress logging of questions and answers.
---remotes-ringbuffer-entries=*NUM*
-: maximum number of packets to store statistics for.
-
--server-id=*TEXT*
: Return *TEXT* when queried for 'server.id' TXT, defaults to hostname.

If turned on, the recursor will attempt to add AAAA IPv6 records to questions
for MX records and NS records. Can be quite slow as absence of these records in
