 * reconnectWaitTime = how long to wait, in seconds, between two reconnection attempts, default to 1
 * maskV4 = network mask to apply to the client IPv4 addresses, for anonymization purpose. The default of 32 means no anonymization
 * maskV6 = same as maskV4, but for IPv6. Default to 128
+* asyncConnect = if set to false (default) the first connection to the server during startup will block up to `timeout` seconds,

 The protocol buffers message types can be found in the [`dnsmessage.proto`](https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/pdns/dnsmessage.proto) file.
