documentation for more information.

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 :program:`pdns_server` inside a guardian. This guardian monitors the
                        performance of the inner :program:`pdns_server` instance. It is also this
                        guardian that :program:`pdns_control`\ talks 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.
--help                  To view more options that are available use this program.
