Replaced dns_cache_init=off with use_dns_cache=off. The difference is
that if use_dns_cache=off, but dns_cache_init=on (default), the cache
 can be enabled anytime at runtime
 (e.g. sercmd cfg.set_now_int core use_dns_cache 1).
If dns_cache_init=off, the cache cannot be enabled at runtime (requires
a restart), but you save a little bit of memory (it might matter on
embedded systems).

Yes, the ones above are used both when the cache is enabled or disabled.
The ones that are not are some of the dns_cache_flags: ipv6_only and
 prefer_ipv6 are obeyed only if the cache is used.
