+DESCRIPTION\r
+-----------\r
+pdns_recursor(1) is a high performance, simple and secure recursing
+nameserver. It currently powers over two million internet connections.
+
+
+The recursor is configured via a configuration file, but each item in
+that file can be overridden on the command line.
+
+
+This manpage lists the core set of features needed to get the PowerDNS
+recursor working, for full and up to date details head to
+http://doc.powerdns.com/built-in-recursor.html
+
+\r
+EXAMPLES\r
+--------\r
+To listen on 1.2.3.4 and allow the 1.2.3.0/8 subnet to recurse, and run
+as a daemon, execute:
+
+ # pdns_recursor --local-address=1.2.3.4 --allow-from=1.2.3.0/8 --daemon
+
+To stop the recursor by hand, run:
+
+ # rec_control quit
+
+
+ Alternatively, use the init.d script provided.
