Funky mDNSResponder plist

Well, I've never seen this one before - or have any idea how this would happen if you need to be in recovery to modify the file. This was the current output of my com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist when I was digging to disable Bonjour Multicast Advertisments:
Disabled
	
	Label
	org.apache.httpd
	EnvironmentVariables
	
		XPC_SERVICES_UNAVAILABLE
		1
		OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY
		YES
	
	ProgramArguments
	
		/usr/sbin/httpd-wrapper
		-D
		FOREGROUND
	
	OnDemand
What would these settings accomplish? Because these are different than default, to me it looks like its trying to divert the DNS queries somewhere else. This could also be a result of hardening, but again, not sure how that would be possible if you need either SIP disabled, or need to be in recovery to accomplish.
