+ Sets the maximum number of levels of recursion
+ that are permitted at any one time while servicing
+ a recursive query. Resolving a name may require
+ looking up a name server address, which in turn
+ requires resolving another name, etc; if the number
+ of indirections exceeds this value, the recursive
+ query is terminated and returns SERVFAIL. The
+ default is 7.

+ Sets the maximum number of iterative queries that

+ If more queries are sent, the recursive query

+ and the DNS root zone are exempt from this limitation.
+ The default is 75.
