Automatic DNSSEC means +verification of integrity of authoritative responses by following +keys and signatures starting from root. Root trust anchor is automatically +bootstrapped from IANA, or you can provide a file with root trust anchors +(same format as Unbound or BIND9 root keys file). + +The daemon also caches intermediate answers into cache, which by default +uses LMDB memory-mapped database. This has a significant advantage over +in-memory caches as the process may be stopped and restarted without +loss of cache entries. In multi-user scenario a shared cache +is potential privacy/security issue, with kresd each user can have resolver cache +in their private directory and use it in similar fashion to keychain. + +.P +To use a locally running +.B kresd +for resolving put +.sp +.RS 6n +nameserver 127.0.0.1 +.RE +.sp +into +.IR resolv.conf (5) +and start +.B kresd + +.P +The daemon may be configured also as a plain forwarder using query policies. +This requires using a config file.
