RE: Single nameserver doesn't show signed SOA-RRs

+ / let me guess / you use Smart Signing ?

Weird, this week, in my verification of DNSSEC'd domains by our registrars
I picked up exactly the same error :
no RRSIG on the SOA.

They filed a bug report to ISC about this.
Might be related to this Smart Signing thing -
can you confirm you are also using this ?

Kind regards,

Subject: Single nameserver doesn't show signed SOA-RRs

Hello world,

I'm having a problem with a single authoritative server that seems to
not receive a signed zone.

I used www.zonecheck.fr to check the zones incertum.net and
billigmail.org and it complains that ns3.wars-nicht.de doesn't have a
signed SOA. I already tried increasing the serial for those zones to
retransfer them, but the error seems to persist.

The affected nameserver is a Debian/lenny running 9.6.ESV.R4, the two
other nameservers are Debian/squeeze running 9.7.3.

On the affected nameserver, the only configuration with regards to
DNSSEC was to add "dnssec-enable yes;" to the named configuration file
(and restart it afterwards).

Can anyone enlighten me on what I'm doing wrong here? I'd like to iron
out this before I submit my keys to my registrar.


Cheers
Stefan

But has he reloaded/reconfigured the server?

"dig billigmail.org any @88.198.26.233" shows the server has the
signatures.

"dig billigmail.org soa @88.198.26.233 +dnssec" show that they arn't
being returned when requested and it also shows DO being returned
which means there is nothing stripping out the DO bit on the way
to the server or on the way back.

Are you sure that 88.198.26.233 has DNSSEC disabled? The admin told me
he had added "dnssec-enable yes;" to the named.conf file.

It complains that the SOA of wars-nicht.de itself is not signed, or that
ns3.wars-nicht.de does not have a signed SOA for billigmail.org and
incertum.net?

Check whether the zone transfer actually took place. Even if you increase
the serial and send notifies, there could be a misconfiguration somewhere
preventing the notifies from getting through or the tranfer from taking
place.

Looking at them now, all three seem to have the same serial, 2011062902
for both domains.

RE: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

2011-06-29 Thread Sven Eschenberg
That is, if all of those threads have work to do, because the task can be
distributed accordingly. Which is not easy even if you know the number of
cores (threads for that matter) and the whole task is known a priori.

Unfortunately Queries to a DNS-Server like bind do not follow parameters
known a priori, so distributing the tasks (work) to threads with the goal
of equal load aswell as minimum response time is an online-scenario and
all but trivial. ;-)

Regards

-Sven

P.S.: If all parts of bind were optimized towards multicore processing and
the pattern of queries fits, yes, then the 8 core machine could probably
outrun the 4 core machine, even when having a slower clock. But this might
worsen the performance on single or dual core CPUs on the other hand.

In general, yes.  If the NIC can handle the data flow well, and the OS
kernel can handle the multiple UDP sockets well.  I've seen some people
"work around" BIND 9's implementation by using 3 sockets on the same
host, either on different IP addresses or on different ports, and use an
external load balancer to make them appear as a singe entity to the
outside world, as well as allow them to be used directly if on different
addresses.

ISC is addressing this limitation.  It's pretty clear more cores are in
our future, not more CPU per core.  *hugs his 8-core 3.00 Ghz Xeon box*  :)

A lot of work has been done in TCP-land to enable web applications, and
this means UDP has somewhat fallen to the wayside.  After all, there
aren't a lot of applications that use UDP and really expect high data
rates, right?  :)

I've seen some kernels (to remain nameless) that use one giant lock for
all UDP input in the kernel, and while this is a short-lived lock, it is
a contention point.  If listening on more than one socket still has this
bottleneck there isn't much to do about it.

Re: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

2011-06-29 Thread Sven Eschenberg
Thanks for that insight. I already considered something like the 'single
core per udp socket' problem.

One thing that just popped up my mind:
Does it increase performance, when you, let's say, bind multiple IPs to
the same NIC and make bind listen to all of those IPs, while of course
taking care to fix the corresponding NS RRs to contact all of thos IPs.

(I'm thinking of something like:
in NS ns1
in NS ns2
ns1 in a ip1
ns1 in a ip2
...
ns2 in a ipa
ns2 in a ipb
...

While ip1 and ip2 in the example are on the same NIC
)

If I understood you right, this should probably scale better on machines
with a high number of cores and improve the number of queries that can be
processed. More available UDP sockets should lead to more cores being used
for the initial IO stuff.

I am just asking out of curiosity though.

Regards

-Sven

RE: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

I'm not sure I agree with that - multiple single threaded processes can
be distributed across cores/CPUs.   That is to say ONE single thread
process doesn't gain from multiple cores but more than one can because
they don't have to compete against each other on the same core.

Not necessarily. They are not apples to apples. Multi-core machines only
excel at multi-threaded computational loads. I don't know how BIND does

differences between the two chips anyhow (cache size differences, etc.).

No matter what, what gets you the best performance is what you should
choose to do.

BIND 9 does not currently benefit as much from more cores, but does from
more powerful cores.  I suspect this is what is happening in your tests.
 The 4 core machine is able to be fully utilized, and each core is
faster.  In the 8 core machine, you are not only doubling the amount of
data needed to be moved around in some cases, you are lowering the core
speed.  If BIND uses perhaps 6 of the cores, with the typical 64-bit
overhead of more data and more effort on the system, you are losing
performance.

Also, like mentioned by several here, you are not using identical
machines.  When you benchmark and compare results, you want to minimize
the differences or at least account for them.  Your machine is not just
made of CPUs, it has memory (which may vary in speed), network cards and
the drivers (which may be better or worse depending in the card and
drivers), and motherboard chipsets in use.

There are just too many variables to account for in your comparison that
we cannot really help with.  Thus, the only answer that is ultimately
important to you is, on this new hardware, how can I make BIND 9 run
fastest?  If that turns out to be a 32-bit OS or a 32-bit named binary,
that's your answer.

BIND 9 uses epoll() I believe, but AFAIK does not touch AIO.  I've not
touched that code recently though, so this is possibly out of date
information.  Also, which version of BIND 9.x introduced the epoll() I
am not certain of.

That said, the single biggest problem in BIND 9 currently in terms of
using all CPUs on a high-core machine is that all initial I/O is
processed on a single core per UDP socket.

Thus, you had 32 real cores in a server today and would use this beast
for DNS, you'd not be happy unless you somehow spread this across
multiple UDP listening sockets.

We're working on this though.  As with all things, we work on the things
that are most important to our customers and users, so making your voice
heard that this is important is helpful to us.  Running code is always
good too, as is a monetary donation for a development effort you want to
see moving forward faster.

Large number of small zones in BIND? We have something for you to try.

Hash: SHA1

We've been working on the start-up time of BIND 9, when many many zones
are configured.

By many, I mean in the 10k to 1m range.

If you are someone who has a large number of zones loaded into BIND 9,
and would like to try out some test code to see if our work improves
your load time, please contact me.

This is another CPU time / memory trade-off, but we don't think the
overhead will be significant.

If you choose to test, we will want you to report your original and
hopefully-improved start-up time, original and new memory usage, and of
course any problems you encounter.

I have set the reply-to address for this mail to myself; if you want to
discuss this on the list, please do so but set it back to the list
address.  Thanks!


Please include the following:

Number of zones loaded:

BIND 9 version in use:

Can you test with a different, developmental version?

Would you test in your lab or production?

If we got code to you this or next week, when could you complete your
measurements?

Benchmarking on different machine types, even if they are identical
speed, can be affected by any number of issues:  ethernet card type,
motherboard chipset, etc.  Even features chosen on an identical chipset.

For true comparison, one must run the 32-bit OS on the same hardware
(not just "similar" hardware) to do a direct comparison.

That said, more is not always better.  64-bit means it can move more
memory around faster in certain circumstances, and it can address more
than 4 GB without pulling special hardware tricks.  That said, it MUST
move around double the memory in certain operations, like pointers.
BIND 9 uses a fair number of pointers, so often times the overhead
increases faster than the benefit of a larger accessible memory area.

Objet : Re: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

When i start Bind on server2 i do it with -n 4 ( to use 4 thread) and on 
server1 i start bind with -n 8. And i see then on munin that the load is shared 
on all cores.
For the load-server it's another server let's call it server 3. I know that 
tcpreplay is monothread so i lunch 2*25000 qps for example. And i use also 
resperf for testing, what i have with resperf and tcpreplay is nearly the same.

What's important is that i 'm using always the same server3 to load the server1 
and server2 (not at the same time, and using the same pcap-- rewrite twice to 
meet the mac@ of server1 and server2-- ) and i start with -n 4 on the 4 cores 
server and with -n 8 on the 8 cores. But i found best performance on the 32 bit 
server2 (4*2.33).

Other information i begin the test only after sending for a few minutes 2 
qps, so then i have only 5% of request that causes recursion, and about 15% 
nxdoamin answer, finally 80% of answer from cache. This is available for the 2 
server since it's the same original pcap written twice.

Do i have to use bind compiled and running on 32 bit server to have better 
performance rather than bind compiled and running on 64 bit server?

You can only do maths like that if you assume that everything is
multithreaded _and_ capable of spreading to multiple cores without any
overhead.

I've mentioned earlier that for example BIND only scales up to about 4
threads. Based on this, your maths example would be (kind of simplified):

64 bit vs 32 bit:
4*1.6GHz vs 4*2.33GHz

Also, you mentioned using tcpreplay, which is also apparantly
single-threaded , making the comparison like this:

1*1.6GHz vs 1*2.33GHz.

Sometimes I wonder if people REALLY read the replies sent to the list.
If they don't read it, then why bother asking?

David has mentioned that the reason your "32bit server" is faster is
because it has higher clock speed (2.33 GHz). Elvin has also mentioned
that the 32 bit 2.33GHz CPU might actually win out purely based on the
higher clock frequency. Basically what they're saying is that for
BIND, clock speed of a SINGLE core is more important that the TOTAL
sum of all core speeds. So if you've read their response you wouldn't
say "8*1.6 is better and faster than 4*2.33". Cause the total doesn't
matter in this case.

>From my experience:
- clock speed of a SINGLE core matters. A lot.
- going from 2 cores to 4 cores give about 50% improvement, but going
from 4 to 8 cores doesn't give any signifcant improvement
- x86_64 simply kick ass compared to power or sparc. Stick with x86_64
if If you're using BIND, don't bother with other arch (which are more
expensive, give lower performance. At least it was true at that time).
- 64 bit OS and userland gives the benefit of more addressable memory.
In BIND's case, this means more memory for cache, which (depends on
the type of load) can lead to higher performance (only if you
configure it to use the memory for cache, of course).

Re: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

2011-06-29 Thread Sven Eschenberg
Not neccessarily.

It really depends on many many things. How well does the OS kernel+NIC
driver scale, how good do they work in balancing among all CPUs+cores.

I do not know the inner workings of bind, but depending on the algorithmic
problems, distributed/parallel processing can even degrade performance,
sometimes the gain in distribution is not as good as expected due to
communication overhead etc. .

So the assumption that 8@1.6>>4@2.33 can not be safely made. Especially in
a single application scenario (A pure name server).

Maybe some bind developer can shed a light on this:
Does bind use epoll()?
AIO (as in Posix RT extensions)

As stated by others, use the same machine for all 3 scenarios (OS/Apps):
32/32
64/32
64/64

Re: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

2011-06-29 Thread Mats Dufberg
It would be interesting to hear what kind of lookup that you did for
your test. Did the servers just answer from configured zones? Would
recursion make any difference on the utilization of the cores? And
validation? Or is four fast cores always better than many slower cores?

Re: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

2011-06-29 Thread lst_hoe02

Zitat von iharrathi@orange-ftgroup.com:

on server1(64 bit) i have 2 Intel E5310 quad-core 1.6Ghz and on  
server2(32 bit) i have 2 Intel Xeon dual-core 2.33Ghz.

means 8*1.6 Ghz on server1 and 4*2.33 on server2.

8*1.6 is better and faster than 4*2.33, no?


This would only apply for applications with ideal scalability. Most  
applications are limited by some serial code paths which only benefits  
from higher clock speed. So no, you cannot simply add core*clockspeed  
to compare. For more on this topic see for example

Not necessarily. They are not apples to apples. Multi-core machines only
excel at multi-threaded computational loads. I don't know how BIND does
or does not qualify. I suspect, however, there may be some other
differences between the two chips anyhow (cache size differences, etc.).

You can only do maths like that if you assume that everything is
multithreaded _and_ capable of spreading to multiple cores without any
overhead.

I've mentioned earlier that for example BIND only scales up to about 4
threads. Based on this, your maths example would be (kind of simplified):

64 bit vs 32 bit:
4*1.6GHz vs 4*2.33GHz

Also, you mentioned using tcpreplay, which is also apparantly
single-threaded , making the comparison like this:

1*1.6GHz vs 1*2.33GHz.

Did you try this on the same maching, or are you still using 32-bit OS

On 24.06.11 13:39, David Coulthart wrote:
Currently the two recursive caching nameservers for clients on our 
network are also authoritative for a few zones.  In particular, they 
are authoritative for:


1) our main forward zone (columbia.edu) in order to provide an

2) RFC 1918 reverse zones (e.g., 10.in-addr.arpa)


Then they do exactly what internal nameservers are supposed to do.

I would like to follow best practices by separating authoritative & 
recursive functionality. 


The practice comes out of the need to provide correct DNS data in case 
you have configured a zone that is not anymore delegated to your server 
and is obsolete.


This practice appears not to apply for your company's main domain, 
unless you loose it and someone else claims it.


Especially if it's your internal version.

Therefore, I see no need for you to configure new server for those 
zones, you seem to have exactly what you need.


Also, when I sign these zones, I would like the recursive nameservers 
to respond with the AD bit set instead of AA.


I don't see any reason why you should sign the internal and rfc1918 
(and probably rfc5735) zones. What is the point of wanting this?

My recommendation would be use a 64Bit OS, but 32Bit applications as  
long as they don't need a large amount of memory. One should not  
install a 32Bit OS on a server today until it is a embeded device or  
something similar.

RE: bind-users Digest, Vol 902, Issue 1

Thanks for the answer,
@ Andreas i made the test and i have the same performance as OS 64 bind 64.
NB: when i reach the maximum throughput i still have enough free RAM, free CPU, 
free NIC capacity. So the limit is in Bind. What to do to reach more capacity?
Tests:
Test1: OS 64 bit, bind 64 bit ==> 5 qps
Test2: OS 32 bit, bind 32 bit ==> 7 qps
Test3: OS 64 bit, bind 32 bit ==> 5 qps

Regards 
Issam Harrathi.

 the only diff?rence between the two server is 64 bit vs 32 bit ( same

My recommendation would be use a 64Bit OS, but 32Bit applications as  
long as they don't need a large amount of memory. One should not  
install a 32Bit OS on a server today until it is a embeded device or  
something similar.

Ok, that didn't really come across in your email.

http://augeas.net/

...does what you want. It has a "lense" (their term for a config file 
description) for ISC dhcpd, which is a very similar syntax. It should be 
relatively trivial to turn out a lense for ISC bind.


Or use Config::Parser, or adapt the script I sent round (which in fact 
was the reason I wrote it); tokenisation of the bind config file is 
easy, and the core grammar is straightforward because everything is 
;-terminated, with the form:


item = thing+ block semicolon
thing = word | quoted-string
block = { item+ }

The 32 bit rig is faster (2.33Ghz).


My understanding is that 64-bit is NOT faster in most cases, and only
makes some things possible (addressing large amounts of memory is one
stand-out) that are not possible with 32-bit. If bind is not going to be
using over 4GB of RAM by itself, my understanding is that running 64-bit
will merely add overhead. I realize that is a pretty big generalization,
so feel free to correct me if you know better.


I'll take it a step farther. In my experience running  code in 64-bit
mode is USUALLY slightly slower than running it in 32-bit mode on the
same hardware. This is mostly because of the added data that must be
moved for 64-bit operations. It also means the 64-bit binaries are
larger, often by a significant amount.

I recommend sticking with 32-bit systems unless you have a specific
need for 64-bit capacity.


My recommendation would be use a 64Bit OS, but 32Bit applications as  
long as they don't need a large amount of memory. One should not
