Subject: Re: question about dns query distribution
Are these authoritative nameservers or resolving DNS servers?
If the latter, its probably because everybody has resolv.conf's listing
ns1.tbd.com first and ns2.tbd.com second.
We used to have 3 recursive/caching servers.... x.x.x.2, x.x.x.3, x.x.x.4.
x.x.x.2 would get heavily used , with the other two practically being idle.
Later the networking group changed DHCP to hand out x.x.x.3 as the first
nameserver. So '2' mainly sees queries from most systems not using DHCP and
'3' mainly sees queries from systems using DHCP. And, most of my systems use
'4' :) They had talked about having DHCP use 3 first or 4 first for different
parts of campus, but... they probably don't want to touch it, since it hasn't
been updated since it was turned on 6+ years ago (its running ISC dhcpd v3.0.4.)
Though '4' is out in our powerplant where it only has 100BaseT. '2' & '3' are
in our datacenter with gigabit.
They all used to live out in the powerplant originally. But, as the old
hardware started failing, I scrounged up some old servers in the datacenter to
replace them, but didn't get very far on doing the physical replacement
process.... Perhaps I'll do better as these current hardware nears EOL.
Recently noticed that for 2 nameservers ns1.tbd.com and ns2.tbd.com (names are
changed to protect the innocent) the first nameserver consistently receives
twice as many queries as the 2nd nameserver.
Who can tell me why queries are distributed this way?
Any ideas?
I assume it's something relatively simple.
Thank you.
Marty
