Heya guys,

I'm faced with the question if my unbound's cachesize is large enough.
The ideal size is reached, if unbound discards entries from the cache
*only if* their ttl was expired.

You won't be able to fit all DNS records in your cache except if you have 2 or 3 users always hitting the same websites. Rule of thumb is if you have free RAM use it! For your cache usage, use unbound-control with extended-statistics: yes to see your usage.

To summarize, your cache won't be big enough to cache the whole Internet :) So use the maximum available RAM you have and start from here (keep some space for your OS:).

Thomas
