# RFC 8198. Use the DNSSEC NSEC chain to synthesize NXDO-MAIN and other
# denials, using information from previous NXDO-MAINs answers. In other
# words, use cached NSEC records to generate negative answers within a
# range and positive answers from wildcards. This increases performance,
# decreases latency and resource utilization on both authoritative and
# recursive servers, and increases privacy. Also, it may help increase
# resilience to certain DoS attacks in some circumstances.
aggressive-nsec: yes

# This prevents very delayed answer packets from the upstream (recursive)
# servers from bouncing against closed ports and setting off all sort of

# extra sockets, it checks the ID and remote IP of packets, and unwanted
