Greetings, BIND Operators! As the maintainers of BIND, ISC is often approached by users of our software asking about tuning for maximized performance. To assist in this, we are working on a number of knowledge base articles and we are asking for community input.
The majority of "high-performance" operational experience within ISC revolves around two very specialized endeavors, F-Root (https://www.isc.org/f-root/) and the ISC Performance Lab (https://www.isc.org/blogs/isc-performance-lab/). While both of these are "high performance" offerings, the reality is that they match a very tiny demographic as far as operational usefulness goes. What I would like to ask of the community is for real-world experience - what did you do to "make BIND run better/faster/stronger"? Have you come across the "magic sysctl setting" that took your performance from 10kqps to 50kqps? Did you find anything that was detrimental to your performance that was surprising? Any interesting "sweet spots" in tunable settings that you found that might be useful to others? If you want to create a thread here, that's fine or I'm more than willing to take direct input via e-mail. Please do note that the goal of this is to create a document that assists the community-at-large and your input will be used (with credit!) to that end. Thanks!
