the server will accept for updating local authoritiative zones or
forwarding to a primary server. The default is ``100``.
+.. namedconf:statement:: sig0checks-quota
+ :tags: server
+ :short: Specifies the maximum number of concurrent SIG(0) signature checks that can be processed by the server.
+
+ This is the maximum number of simultaneous SIG(0)-signed messages that
+ the server will accept. If the quota is reached, then :iscman:`named` waits
+ for the maximum of :any:`sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms` time for a quota to
+ appear or to answer with a status code of REFUSED. The value of ``0``
+ disables the quota. The default is ``1``.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ :any:`sig0checks-quota` protection does not work when there is only one
+ worker thread available, or when the option is set to a value that is
+ greater or equal to the worker threads available. See the ``-n #cpus``
+ option of :iscman:`named` for more information about the worker threads.
+
+.. namedconf:statement:: sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms
+ :tags: server
+ :short: Specifies the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for a SIG(0) signature checking quota to appear.
+
+ When :any:`sig0checks-quota` is effective and a client reaches the quota,
+ then :iscman:`named` waits for the maximum of
+ :any:`sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms` time (in milliseconds) for a quota to
+ appear. If no quota becomes available, then an answer with a status code of
+ REFUSED is sent. The default is ``1500``.
+
+.. namedconf:statement:: sig0checks-quota-exempt
+ :tags: server
+ :short: Exempts specific clients or client groups from SIG(0) signature checking quota.
+
+ DNS clients can be exempted from SIG(0) signature checking quota with the
+ :any:`sig0checks-quota-exempt` clause using their IP and/or Network
+ addresses. The default value is an empty list.
+
+ Example:
+
+ ::
+
+ sig0checks-quota-exempt {
+ 10.0.0.0/8;
+ 2001:db8::100;
+ };
