Can a "recursive client backlog" be a problem if recursing clients is ca. 1000 while recursive-clients is 6000? If yes, where is the backlog? I can see it in the syslog when recursive-clients is reached - this does not happen here. Here are the first 10 lines. The other 995 lines all look like this. ; ; Recursing Queries ; ; client 127.0.0.1#40278: id 13156 'fnnd0u.ciptdd.cn/A/IN' requesttime 1459440503 ; client 127.0.0.1#43457: id 30082 '6aj344.iqr8aop.cn/A/IN' requesttime 1459440503 ; client 127.0.0.1#55751: id 58170 'g1zdo7.02fucag.cn/A/IN' requesttime 1459440503 ; client 127.0.0.1#38696: id 62912 'v6mzb.566095.top/A/IN' requesttime 1459440504 ; client 127.0.0.1#38585: id 17254 'l3ay0.688903.top/A/IN' requesttime 1459440504 ; client 127.0.0.1#47576: id 24940 '0h8xi.866099.top/A/IN' requesttime 1459440504 ; client 127.0.0.1#38195: id 25054 'oipy2.spwgm89.com/A/IN' requesttime 1459440504 There are only 2 requests for .de domains in the queue so the failing requests for netestate.de cannot be explained by a rate limiting of the .de nameservers. What are current rate limits for tld nameservers anyway? I wonder how fast a single bind instance should hammer them. Our database is cluttered with chinese linkfarms and the DNS queries for them tend to fail early and often or take a long time. I may be able to address this in some way so that those queries are reduced but I would also like to have a DNS server that can handle high load and it seems my current setup is lacking.
