In benchmarking stats/lies I quoted in original post, that's the slowest they got (6.1 SMP w/ Bind). With NSD it was 30,000 on 6.1 and 59,000 on 4.11. The full chart compares FreeBSD 6.1, 4.11 and Linux 2.6 (SMP vs. UP). In any case, it's obvious DNS performance is not something I need to worry about. Thanks for the help! m
