I recently ran a series of dns load tests against various dns servers and have been greatly surprised by the results (http://www.clarksys.com/2007/11/20/dns_load_testing_results/) - in this test PDNS was slightly faster than TinyDNS and half as fast as BIND. Because the query set was highly repetitive during the test I would have expected PDNS to cache the results and serve subsequent queries from this cache. That does not seem to have been the case here. I am preparing a lab environment to run additional tests to validate these initial results and would appreciate any input from the PDNS community for configuration.
Best, Max PDNS configuration for this test -- daemon=yes disable-axfr=yes distributor-threads=6 launch=gmysql gmysql-host=10.10.10.10 gmysql-dbname=dns gmysql-user=user gmysql-password=pass _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
