+A (recursive) forward configuration is needed to make the periodic refresh work.
 
 Starting with version 4.9, setting :ref:`setting-hint-file` to ``no-refresh`` disables both the initial reading of the hints and the periodic refresh of cached root data.
 This prevents :program:`Recursor` from resolving names by itself, so it is only useful in cases where all queries are forwarded.
