 Prior to version 4.7.0, the period for re-fetching root data was :ref:`setting-max-cache-ttl` divided by 12, with a minimum of 10 seconds.
 Starting with version 4.7.0, the period is adaptive, starting at 80% of :ref:`setting-max-cache-ttl`, reducing the interval on failure.

+There is another detail: after refreshing the root records, the :program:`Recursor` will resolve the ``NS`` records for the top level domain of the root servers.
 For example, in the default setup the root name servers are called ``[a-m].root-servers.net``, so the :program:`Recursor` will resolve the name servers of the ``.net`` domain.
 This is needed to correctly determine zone cuts to be able to decide if the ``.root-servers.net`` domain is DNSSEC protected.

 In some special cases, processing the root hints is not needed, for example when forwarding all queries to another recursor.
 For these special cases, it is possible to disable the processing of root hints by setting the value to ``no``.
