I have bind9.4.2-P2 running on two recursive servers at around 1000 queries / second on FreeBSD 7 stable from a couple of weeks ago. This is with the default "make config" settings, which on all my machines means threads enabled, although FreshPorts disagree on the default setting for threads: http://www.freshports.org/dns/bind94/ I compiled the port with a larger (65000) FD_SETSIZE and increased kern.maxfiles (also to 65000) with sysctl but other than that the machines are perfectly standard. I am not even sure larger FD_SETSIZE and increasing kern.maxfiles is neccesary with -P2 but it helped a bit with all the issues I was having with -P1. At least -P2 doesn't use nearly as many file descriptors and sockets as -P1, so I guess it might not be neccesary anymore. I don't know what the problem is supposed to be with threads on FreeBSD7 but I haven't run into it, it is very stable and has been for a few weeks now. Best regards Thomas Rasmussen
