Set to 0 for infinite. COMMANDS add-nta DOMAIN [REASON] Add a Negative Trust Anchor for DOMAIN, suffixed optionally with REASON. add-ta DOMAIN DSRECORD Add a Trust Anchor for DOMAIN with DS record data DSRECORD. This adds the new Trust Anchor to the existing set of Trust An- chors for DOMAIN. current-queries Shows the currently active queries. clear-nta DOMAIN... Remove Negative Trust Anchor for one or more DOMAINs. Set do- main to '*' to remove all NTA's. clear-ta [DOMAIN]... Remove Trust Anchor for one or more DOMAINs. Note that removing the root trust anchor is not possible. dump-cache FILENAME Dumps the entire cache to FILENAME. This file should not exist already, PowerDNS will refuse to overwrite it. While dumping, the recursor will not answer questions. dump-edns FILENAME Dumps the EDNS status to the filename mentioned. This file should not exist already, PowerDNS will refuse to overwrite it. While dumping, the recursor will not answer questions. dump-nsspeeds FILENAME Dumps the nameserver speed statistics to the FILENAME mentioned. This file should not exist already, PowerDNS will refuse to overwrite it. While dumping, the recursor will not answer ques- tions. get STATISTIC [STATISTIC]... Retrieve a statistic.
