You may wish to direct further questions such as these to freebsd-questiond@freebsd.org I suppose I could help you out this one time :) recursive-clients The maximum number of simultaneous recursive lookups the server will perform on behalf of clients. The default is 1000. stacksize The maximum amount of stack memory the server may use. The default is default. tcp-clients The maximum number of simultaneous client TCP connections that the server will accept. The default is 100. Frank Laszlo, DAS Image House Studios 317 N.
