I suspect it simply means different things happen in different (operational) environments, even if the software/hardware is the same. Admittedly, threaded versions of BIND9 have more bugs than non-threaded versions due to all the complexity of multi-thread interactions. So I won't be surprised there's someone who always has to disable threads. At the same time, I won't be surprised there's someone else who is just happy with threads and enjoys enhanced performance. It's regrettable to me that we cannot fully satisfy all users with threads, but my general impression is that many if not most users are happily using BIND9 with threads. (but I'm afraid this is going to be off-topic. I don't think we're discussion whether the thread support is good or bad, but how to disable them for any reason). --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
