 Under normal circumstances, dnsmasq relies on DNS clients to do retries; it
 does not generate timeouts itself. Setting this option
-instructs dnsmasq to generate its own retries after the specified time, which
-must be greater than 500ms. Using this option increases memory usage and
+instructs dnsmasq to generate its own retries starting after a delay

+backoff. Using this option increases memory usage and
 network bandwidth.
