:short: Sets the maximum number of iterative queries while servicing a recursive query.
This sets the maximum number of iterative queries that may be sent
- by a resolver while looking up a single name. If more queries than this
- need to be sent before an answer is reached, then recursion is terminated
- and a SERVFAIL response is returned to the client. The default is ``200``.
