Hi,
I'm testing some configuration for my caching name server with Bind
9.4.2-P2 using resperf. The server is a dual Core Xeon at 2,3GHz 2GB
Ram runing gentoo linux. The goal is to have maximum performance from
this box.
The problem is I don't know which performance I can expect of, in term
of latency and in term of response per second (without or with loss).
Here is my results :

I'm quite surprised by the failures and by the average latency for
more than 1500 qps...
Are these results realistic for this hardware configuration or have I
miss something in my config file?
query logging is OFF and my options are :
options {
directory "/var/bind";
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
statistics-file "/var/bind/stats/named.stats";
listen-on-v6 { none; };
listen-on { myself; };
version "None of your business";
allow-query { trusted_network; };
blackhole { blacklist; };
max-cache-size 0;
recursive-clients 1500;
};
