If running on an SMP system with enough memory, this feature forks PowerDNS so it benefits from two processors. Experimental. Renames controlsockets, so care is needed to connect to the right one using `rec_control`, using `socket-pid`. Available in versions of the Recursor before 3.2, replaced by the 'threads' setting.

-Since version 3.1.5, multiple IP addresses can be specified. Additionally, port numbers other than 53 can be configured. Sample syntax: `forward-zones=example.org=203.0.113.210:5300;127.0.0.1, powerdns.com=127.0.0.1;198.51.100.10:530`, or on the command line: `--forward-zones="example.org=203.0.113.210:5300;127.0.0.1, powerdns.com=127.0.0.1;9.8.7.6:530"`,
