The watchdog timer thing causing the thing to not boot? The WDT is disabled by default in the Supermicro BIOS now. At least on all the ones I'm running. From what I've read, new production boards have the h/w fix. Some resistor or something was failing I think. Cisco, Juniper, etc are doing the exact same thing with replacement supervisor cards and such that use the C2k SoC.

The Supermicro 5019A-FTN4 is starting to ship now which uses the C3758 SoC. About $300 more than the 5018A's. Then there's the low power consumption Xeon-D based stuff. Cost is too high for the very light load I'd need it to do.

Is anyone else worried about the C2758  ( C2K ) problems with the atom chips?   I keep waiting for a decent availability of C3K chips to start upgrading systems

I'm running several Supermicro 5018A-FTN4's. That's an 8-core Atom. 16GB of RAM. CentOS 7. And named uses like 3% of the CPU. Looking at one of them, it's hitting about 400 PPS. Using Torch anyway. The named process is using about 350MB of RAM.

I've got 4 of these in an anycast config. So this one I'm looking at right now, just going from memory of how I have things routed, it's probably serving about 900 or 1k customers. So yeah, I don't think a Pi would struggle too much with some DNS caching.

i havent ordered the rig yet for this purpose, too many other things

we run our current vm single core 1gb ram i cant see the pi rig will perform worse

    Bump.

    Hello,

    Will the latest Raspberry Pi 3 model with quad-core processor be
    able to handle a significant DNS load with Unbound running on
    Linux? I can't seem to find much data out there showing what to
    expect for performance with different CPU and hardware options.

    Thanks
