When socket-activated and supervised by systemd or the equivalent, kresd defaults to
--forks=1, and must not be set to any other value. If you want multiple concurrent
processes supervised in this way, they should be supervised independently.

Running Knot Resolver under systemd (or equivalent) socket activation
=====================================================================
You can use the files in this directory to run kresd under supervision
by systemd (or any supervisor that provides equivalent file descriptor
initialization via the interface supported by
sd_listen_fds_with_names(3)).
When run in this configuration:
* it will be run under a non-privileged user, which means it will not
be able to open any new non-privileged ports.
* it will use a single process (implicitly uses --forks=1, and will
fail if that configuration variable is set to a different value).
If you want multiple daemons to listen on these ports publicly
concurrently, you'll need the supervisor to manage them
differently, for example via a systemd generator:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.generator.html
If you have a useful systemd generator for multiple concurrent
processes, please contribute it upstream!
