First, please be more specific about operational environment: the
exact BIND9 version, not just 9.4.x; build options of BIND9; OS and
its version; perhaps also your named.conf.

Second, limiting max-clients-per-query doesn't help reduce the number
of recursive clients if the same query is sent from different IP
addresses.

Third, having 49662 recursive clients looks so extraordinary.  I
suspect that the real problem is somewhere else.
