I've never used BIND in this sort of instance, so I can't speak to that. I can say, however, I've run reasonably large authoritative anycast DNS setups with NSD and OpenBSD. two north american sites, 10Kqps average, with one notable 80K spike. the whole system ran practically untouched (minor

Disappointing ISC BIND performance on OpenBSD 5.3 snapshot

2013-04-19 Thread Kostas Zorbadelos
Hello all, quite a few months ago I had evaluated OpenBSD for a large scale anycast DNS resolving setup: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=133828399728289w=2 The findings at the time (using VMs in a lab environment) was that OpenBSD failed to meet my performance requirements and the main

Give up. For the record. I had BIND on Ubuntu 12.04 on Dell R610. It constantly segfaulted for yet unknown reason (lazy to debug). This machine was overloaded with resources. However, not much of load as yours, but I'v tired of this and put all zones to R620 with OpenBSD 5.3. So far not a

From mine point of view, OpenBSD is a stable OS (even some aged snapshots). I don't put any performance pressure on it. I just want services to be STABLE. If I want STABLE, I replace Linux or any other with OpenBSD. //mxb On 19 apr 2013, at 20:22, Kostas Zorbadelos kzo...@otenet.gr wrote: mxb

I've had very good results with MaraDNS, been using it for at least two years now with no problems. Some highlights: Memory based, so it loads all the configuration settings on startup and then jails itself so it cannot write to the FS Small, and FAST - It's been benchmarked as faster than Bind
