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.

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. 

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer
