be196d173cf52fa33016912e4745dbe1170ac53avboxsync is a Domain Name System (DNS) server,
be196d173cf52fa33016912e4745dbe1170ac53avboxsync part of the BIND 9 distribution from ISC. For more
be196d173cf52fa33016912e4745dbe1170ac53avboxsync information on the DNS, see RFCs 1033, 1034, and 1035.

be196d173cf52fa33016912e4745dbe1170ac53avboxsync When applicable, specifies the hardware to use for
be196d173cf52fa33016912e4745dbe1170ac53avboxsync cryptographic operations, such as a secure key store used
be196d173cf52fa33016912e4745dbe1170ac53avboxsync for signing.
590bfe12ce22cd3716448fbb9f4dc51664bfe5e2vboxsync When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults
54ef23bbaabcca4d29153c08c477acc6bc78f713vboxsync to the string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine
590bfe12ce22cd3716448fbb9f4dc51664bfe5e2vboxsync that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service
54ef23bbaabcca4d29153c08c477acc6bc78f713vboxsync module. When BIND is built with native PKCS#11 cryptography
54ef23bbaabcca4d29153c08c477acc6bc78f713vboxsync (--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#11
54ef23bbaabcca4d29153c08c477acc6bc78f713vboxsync provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".
Run the server in the foreground (i.e. do not daemonize).
