I run my own dns resolution for customers right on my own network. My AP's that have an x86 based cpu run dns for the customers. I have approximately 140 customers using one 5 radio AP for DNS resolution, and it has yet to break a sweat. Yes, I've noticed it generates a bit of small packet traffic across the backhauls to my provider, but nothing significant in terms of total traffic.
That CPU is a GEODE LX, 500 mhz. Is there some kind of benchmark I can use to find out how "fast" or "slow" things are? Because from my customer's perspective, DNS resolution seems darn fast, anytime of day or night. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------- From: "Travis Johnson" <t...@ida.net> Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 9:57 AM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Fast DNS cache > Not faster than having your own servers on your own network... ;) > > Travis > Microserv > > > Jerry Richardson wrote: >> I can't believe how fast the google servers are. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On >> Behalf Of David E.
