bind performances are excellent also on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Myself if I were a big ISP I would use OpenBSD, mainly for a security point of view.

RE: R: Operating system recommendation
"Linux people and their reinstalls"?! Somebody has confused Linux with Windows. We've been running RedHat Eneterprise Linux (RHEL) systems commercially for several years (including our DNS servers) and the only time I "reinstall" is when I'm redeploying a system and/or want to go to a newer major release. As the prior poster said RedHat is still supports RHEL4 (7 years or more) and RHEL5 (4 years or more) and has now relased RHEL6. Redeployments don't require a reinstall - I simply do it (as I did for UNIX system) to get rid of the cruft that is invariably left behind by redeployments and in box upgrades from one major release to another. I'd do the same on BSD if I were still running any of those systems. Don't confuse hobbyists who like to tinker and reinstall at the drop of a hat to undo their latest experiments with use of Linux in real data centers. -Original Message- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of fddi Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 4:18 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Re: R: Operating system recommendation bind performances are excellent also on FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

I bet you can't change that, but it doesn't matter to Bind or the DNS. The two files mean the same thing.

RE: R: Operating system recommendation
Simply what I meant by "their reinstall" is going to a new major revision or someone rootkitted your box. Either would not pose a problem on freebsd. I have redeployed RHEL systems as well and it required a reinstall, the upgrade left to many unstabilites in the system, not just the "cruft" you suggest. Its clear from that statement you don't run any BSD's and cost your company money running RHEL vs Centos or anything free that a competent admin could run just as well, perhaps the bit of money your company could save you could use towards a ploy for a raise!

Reliability and performance on a simple caching BIND9 server for uncached queries
Hi, I've noticed some speed and reliability issues with my BIND9 boxes relating to uncached external queries. External queries that return NX seem to be the worst offenders in these tests and are what I've focused on during my testing. I've confirmed it using a simple benchmarking tool called DNS Benchmark and some simple testing on my part. DNS Benchmark points out that my BIND9 boxes "aren't reliable" because "lookup requests that are dropped and ignored by nameservers cause significant delays in Internet access" to quote the software. DNS Benchmark compares your name servers against external name servers and it shows my boxes as 86% reliable compared to the general list (which includes the level 3 servers, Cox, Symantec, etc) which are, for the most part at 100%. I'm guessing this has to do with the software timing out. Doing a simple test using nslookup doing uncached external lookups (on ubuntu and one windows client): No delay using nslookup or dig directly from my bind boxes to the external name servers. This indicates to me that the bottle neck doesn't exist between my internal and ISP's name servers. No delay when using nslookup or dig from a client machine on my network to the external name servers. This indicates to me that the client isn't the issue. A long delay with ubuntu clients looking up against my internal BIND boxes; Timeouts with Windows and nslookup (due to its shorter timeout). Internal queries are fast using all of the above tests (the BIND box forwards to different internal name servers that are authoritative for our internal name space). This indicates to me that it isn't my bind boxes being slow in general. Is it normal to see slow responses when querying for uncached non-existent domains? I've noticed that other external queries could be faster, but these are really bad. When I query my internal bind boxes that are authoritative for my internal domain directly they respond instantly for NX domains. I don't admin those though so have no insight into their configuration beyond the fact that they run on some nix flavor and are BIND* boxes. Thanks for any insight. ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
