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. |
