Subject: Re: [Pdns-users] rec_control with forking
The 'fork' option is experimental. We have concrete plans to improve it, but
as it gives large financial benefits for users (you can basically run with
40% less servers), we are hoping someone is willing to sponsor 'enterprise
grade multi processor' support.
You where pretty dead on with the 40%.. roughly 12k as opposed to 8k when the recursor is bound to both cores (dual core D805).
Using the --socket-pid with the rec_control now indeed gives some better statistics in the rrd graphs, thanks
Depends a bit. Both recursor and auth consume lots of memory *bandwidth*. It
appears there might even be a performance drop beyond 2G of memory use by
the recursor.
Any idea how much of a performance drop, or noticable in any case?
The authoritative server needs a lot less memory, and loves memory
bandwidth.
In short -> get dual opterons.
Coming to that subject, and hoping not to start an intel/amd flame.... Does pdns itself have any liking to a particular hardware cpu (opterons, xeon, sparc, pa-risc etc?). I read that SUN donated a T2000 for testing?.. kinda curious to the result on such a thing :)
