 if necessary the Redis server must be configured to limit the cache size,
 preferably with some kind of least-recently-used eviction policy.
+Additionaly, the \fBredis\-expire\-records\fR option can be used in order to
+set the relative DNS TTL of the message as timeout to the Redis records; keep
+in mind that some additional memory is used per key and that the expire

 This backend uses synchronous communication with the Redis server
 based on the assumption that the communication is stable and sufficiently
 fast.
