Yeah, comparatively, OpenBSD's performance isn't so hot in that benchmark. But how many sites get even over 10,000 authoritative queries per second? Our network isn't huge (several million HTTP requests per day), but a brief look at our logs shows we get on the order of 30 queries per second across our two DNS servers. From their numbers, our DNS traffic could grow 1000 fold before that's the limiting factor. Do other sites have disproportionately more DNS traffic for their network size than this?
