Setting the value to \fB0\fP will cause that all rate\-limited responses will
be dropped. The outbound bandwidth and packet rate will be strictly capped
by the \fI\%rate\-limit\fP option. All legitimate requestors affected
by the limit will face denial of service and will observe excessive timeouts.
Therefore this setting is not recommended.

.IP \(bu 2
Setting the value to anything larger than 2 is not advisable. Too large slip
value means more denial of service for legitimate requestors and introduces
excessive timeouts during resolution. On the contrary, a truncated answer
gives the legitimate requestor a chance to reconnect over TCP.
Setting the value to anything \fBlarger than 2\fP will keep on decreasing
the outgoing rate\-limited bandwidth, packet rate, and chances to notify
legitimate requestors to reconnect using TCP. These attributes are inversely
proportional to the configured value. Setting the value high is not advisable.
