+Priming module
+--------------
+
+The module for Initializing a DNS Resolver with Priming Queries implemented
+according to :rfc:`8109`. Purpose of the module is to keep up-to-date list of
+root DNS servers and associated IP addresses.
+
+Result of successful priming query replaces root hints distributed with
+the resolver software. Unlike other DNS resolvers, Knot Resolver caches
+result of priming query on disk and keeps the data between restarts until
+TTL expires.
+
+This module is enabled by default and it is not recommended to disable it.
+For debugging purposes you may disable the module by appending
+``modules.unload('priming')`` to your configuration.
