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. Riccardo On 3/11/11 9:23 AM, Chiesa Stefano wrote: -Messaggio originale- Da: bind-users-bounces+stefano.chiesa=wki...@lists.isc.org [m

"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 ma

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"

I'm going to end discussion here Jeff as no "personal attacks" were made, only possible suggestions to help you and possibly try something new and exciting in your life, this becomming more of an OS war than anything useful to Bind mailing list, so its more suited for another forum. Dan.

Reliability and performance on a simple caching BIND9 server for uncached queries

2011-03-11 Thread Khoury Brazil
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
