[question] new bind option "max-recursion-depth"

[Techs_Maru]

Hi,Evan,

Thank you for replying.

I was able to understand,
try setting to test servers.
Thanks.

However,
if the value of the default "7" would be the value that was created
based on the world data ?
( Also for the default value of "max-recursion-queries 50;" )

I want to know the recommended settings for everyone to values.

regards.
