PowerDNS Recursor to respond. Set to 0 for infinite.

mentioned. This file should not exist already, PowerDNS will refuse to
overwrite it. While dumping, the recursor will not answer questions.

Statistics are over the last remotes-ringbuffer-entries queries, which
defaults to 0.
wipe-cache domain0 [domain1]
Wipe entries from the cache. This is useful
if, for example, an important server has a new IP address, but the TTL has not
yet expired. Multiple domain names can be passed. Note that you must terminate
a domain with a .! So to wipe powerdns.org, issue rec_control wipe-cache
powerdns.org.. Versions beyond 3.1 don’t need the trailing dot.
Consider not only wiping www.domain.com. but also domain.com.,
as the cached nameservers or target of CNAME may continue to be
undesired.
