The results were discussed in the following threads:
I see the speed differences are major, but don't have a good idea
of what 15,000 DNS queries per second means. Is the following
interpretation correct?
15,000 DNS queries per second is:
- 1,000 hosted domains, each getting 15 hits/second
or
- 1,000 mail domains, each getting 15 deliveries/s
or
- local cache for mailserver with 15,000 incoming
messages/s
or
- some linear combination of the above.
I guess something like SPF would adds an extra DNS query for each
incoming message.
I'm going to be building a DNS server soon and I'm trying to
judge if it really matters that 6.1 is so slow. But it's very
hard to pass up the fourfold increase you see with NSD on 4.11
over 6.1.
Thanks,

Ok,
at the moment, your questions reveal some musunderstandings in my way of
looking at the subject, so I should asure myself talking about the same
problems as others do.
Means: as I see the 'numbers', they roughly show the performance of an
untuned TCP/IP stack and/or of the speed the kernel can handle the
'subject of being tested for'. At the conclusion, the still means Linux,
especially their new kernel 2.6.XX outperforms both FreeBSD 4.11/UP and
the new branch 6.1. And it was said that FreeBSD 4.11 outperforms
FreeBSD 6.X or the new generation branch at all.
My purposes for the specific OS may be not very common and not that
specific to DNS. Next year, in Feb, I would like to start build a number
crunching system for my work. Due to money limitations, this would be
done with standard SoHo or smaller server-like hardware - connection
will be 1GbE. So, if performance of SMP capable OS and their network
performance differ that much, a OS choice reconsideration would be
necessary. In the past 10 years I'm now with FreeBSD, it wasn't very
science-friendly due to some lack of suitable support by compiler
vendors, as I wrote, i did and do not care about 10% or 15% of
performance gain or drainage if I could stay with the familiar OS (in
my opinion FreeBSD was the 'better' OS in the past).
