The number of records to cache in the aggressive cache. If set to a value greater than 0, the recursor will cache NSEC and NSEC3 records to generate negative answers, as defined in :rfc:`8198`.

        'doc' : '''
The limit for which to put NSEC3 records into the aggressive cache.
A value of ``n`` means that an NSEC3 record is only put into the aggressive cache if the estimated probability of a random name hitting the NSEC3 record is higher than ``1/n``.
A higher ``n`` will cause more records to be put into the aggressive cache, e.g. a value of 4000 will cause records to be put in the aggressive cache even if the estimated probability of hitting them is twice as low as would be the case for ``n=2000``.
A value of 0 means no NSEC3 records will be put into the aggressive cache.

For large zones the effectiveness of the NSEC3 cache is reduced since each NSEC3 record only covers a randomly distributed subset of all possible names.
This setting avoids doing unnecessary work for such large zones.

Netmasks (both IPv4 and IPv6) that are allowed to use the server.
The default allows access only from :rfc:`1918` private IP addresses.
An empty value means no checking is done, all clients are allowed.

Limit the maximum number of simultaneous DoT probes the Recursor will schedule.
The default value 0 means no DoT probes are scheduled.

DoT probes are used to check if an authoritative server's IP address supports DoT.
If the probe determines an IP address supports DoT, the Recursor will use DoT to contact it for subsequent queries until a failure occurs.
After a failure, the Recursor will stop using DoT for that specific IP address for a while.
The results of probes are remembered and can be viewed by the ``rec_control dump-dot-probe-map`` command.
If the maximum number of pending probes is reached, no probes will be scheduled, even if no DoT status is known for an address.
If the result of a probe is not yet available, the Recursor will contact the authoritative server in the regular way, unless an authoritative server is configured to be contacted over DoT always using :ref:`setting-dot-to-auth-names`.
In that case no probe will be scheduled.

.. note::
  DoT probing is an experimental feature.
  Please test thoroughly to determine if it is suitable in your specific production environment before enabling.

Replace record sets in the record cache only after this percentage of the original TTL has passed.
The PowerDNS Recursor already has several mechanisms to protect against spoofing attempts.
This adds an extra layer of protection---as it limits the window of time cache updates are accepted---at the cost of a less efficient record cache.

The default value of 0 means no extra locking occurs.
When non-zero, record sets received (e.g. in the Additional Section) will not replace existing record sets in the record cache until the given percentage of the original TTL has expired.
A value of 100 means only expired record sets will be replaced.

There are a few cases where records will be replaced anyway:

- Record sets that are expired will always be replaced.
- Authoritative record sets will replace unauthoritative record sets unless DNSSEC validation of the new record set failed.
- If the new record set belongs to a DNSSEC-secure zone and successfully passed validation it will replace an existing entry.
- Record sets produced by :ref:`setting-refresh-on-ttl-perc` tasks will also replace existing record sets.

If ``SO_REUSEPORT`` support is available, allows multiple threads and processes to open listening sockets for the same port.

Since 4.1.0, when :ref:`setting-pdns-distributes-queries` is disabled and :ref:`setting-reuseport` is enabled, every worker-thread will open a separate listening socket to let the kernel distribute the incoming queries instead of running a distributor thread (which could otherwise be a bottleneck) and avoiding thundering herd issues, thus leading to much higher performance on multi-core boxes.
