Hi everybody, We just posted the following on our blog: http://blog.powerdns.com/2015/03/11/introducing-dnsdist-dns-abuse-and-dos-aware-query-distribution-for-optimal-performance/
Summary: Introducing dnsdist: DNS, abuse- and DoS-aware query distribution for optimal performance Over the years, PowerDNS users have frequently asked us about our preferred DNS load balancing solution, and we’ve never had a satisfying answer for that. Users of dedicated hardware often tell us that vendors spend most of their time and effort on balancing HTTP, and frequently deliver substandard or even buggy DNS functionality. (...) Putting these three things together (no really satisfying DNS aware load balancer, drive for the very best performance, ongoing attacks) led us to pollute the waters of the internet with yet another piece of software: dnsdist. From its README: “dnsdist is a highly DNS-, DoS- and abuse-aware loadbalancer. Its goal in life is to route traffic to the best server, delivering top performance to legitimate users while shunting or blocking abusive traffic.” The full post is on: http://blog.powerdns.com/2015/03/11/introducing-dnsdist-dns-abuse-and-dos-aware-query-distribution-for-optimal-performance/ Please let us know your thoughts!
