RE: better performance with 32 bit ! why?

That is, if all of those threads have work to do, because the task can be distributed accordingly. Which is not easy even if you know the number of cores (threads for that matter) and the whole task is known a priori. Unfortunately Queries to a DNS-Server like bind do not follow parameters known a

Not neccessarily. It really depends on many many things. How well does the OS kernel+NIC driver scale, how good do they work in balancing among all CPUs+cores. I do not know the inner workings of bind, but depending on the algorithmic problems, distributed/parallel processing can even degrade per

Hi, The size of the zone should not be that much of a matter if you use IFXR. Aside from that, did you ever consider using another mechanism for synchronization, like rsync or lzmaing the zone and transferring it via your protocol of choice? Then again, why would one have a TLD coloc on a 256kbps

Dear Wael, In what way is blocking Port 25 any worse than blocking MX/root queries for clients? Both solutions neglect the fact, that spam is not a technical problem. Some ISPs think it is a good idea to forward you to a search web page, when you mispell some URL, this is done via DNS. Obviously,

Thanks Nick for the 'insight' of epoll. Usually I'd expect an application to have a 'knowledge' of which FS were added to a set for watching. In such a case I would not really expect any return values indicating that one tried to remove an FD, that was never added. Could this indicate a misma
