OPTIONS

       See the online documentation for all options

       --daemon
              Indicate if the server should run in the background as a real daemon, or in the foreground.

       --guardian
              Run pdns_server inside a guardian. This guardian monitors the performance of the inner pdns_server
              instance. It is also this guardian that pdns_controltalks to.

       --control-console
              Run the server in a special monitor mode. This  enables  detailed  logging  and  exposes  the  raw
              control socket.

       --loglevel=<LEVEL>
              Set the logging level.
