• request-ixfr
This option is used to determine whether the local server, acting as a master, will respond
with an incremental zone transfer when the given remote server, a slave, requests it. If set to
yes, incremental transfer will be provided whenever possible. If set to no, all transfers to the
remote server will be non-incremental. If not set, the value of the provide-ixfr option in
the global options block is used as default.
• provide-ixfr
This option is used to determine whether the local server, acting as a slave will request
incremental zone transfers from the given remote server, a master. If not set, the value of the
request-ixfr option in the global options block is used as default. This option is used to allow
incremental zone transfers for the requests to the master server.
• recursive-clients
This option is used to specify the maximum number of recursive lookups the servers will perform
on behalf of clients. Default is 1000.
• tcp-clients
This option is used to specify the maximum number of TCP connections a server will accept.
Default is 100.
• tkey-domain
This option is used to specify the domain name that is appended to the shared keys generated
by TKEY. When a client requests a TKEY exchange, it may or may not specify the desired
name for the key. If present, the name of the shared key will be "client specified part" +
"tkey-domain". Otherwise, the name of the shared key will be "random hex digits" +
"tkey-domain". In most cases, the domain name must be the server's domain name.
• tkey-dhkey
This option is used to specify the Diffie-Hellman key used by the server to generate shared
keys for clients using the Diffie-Hellman mode of TKEY. The server must be able to load the
public and private keys from files in the working directory. In most cases, the keyname should
be the server's host name.
• port
This option is used to specify the port number to be used.
• sig-validity-interval
This option is used to specify the expiry time of DNSSEC signature that is automatically
generated as a result of dynamic updates. Default is 30 days.

with the rndc dumpdb command. Default is named_dump.db. The syntax of dump-file
option in the "options" statement in the /etc/named.conf file is as shown below:
dump-file "path_name";
Where "path_name" is the path name of the file to which the server dumps the database.
• statistics-file
This option is used to specify the pathname of the file in which the server appends statistics
using the rndc stats command. Default is named.stats in the server's current directory.
