My English is well :) and that paragraph is still confusing. Forget
about the defaults and set all these options the way you want them
explicitly.
English is not well suited to describing the nested way these defaults
depend on each other. It would probably be better if pseudo-code had
been used:
if allow-query-cache is set
then use it
else if allow-recursion is set
then allow-query-cache = allow-recursion
else if allow-query is set
then if recursion != no
then allow-query-cache = allow-query
else allow-query-cache = none
else allow-query-cache = (localnets; localhost;)
I hope I translated it right -- the clause about allow-query and
recursion is confusing.
