SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later + +.. _mod-priming: + +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; you may disable it by adding +``modules.unload('priming')`` to your configuration. |
