Use the set recursion_query_timeout command to configure the maximum time allowed for a recursive query to wait for a response before timing out. Setting the timeout value to 0 returns to the default timeout behavior, which is to wait at least 30 seconds and up to 40 seconds before timing out.

Note: When you enable this on an HA pair, ensure that you run the command and set the same values on both nodes of the HA pair. No service restart is required when you use this command.

This command is designed to mitigate phantom domain attacks. For more information about this, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.
