Hi, while doing perfomance testing on an Sun-Fire-V240 (Sparc, Solaris-10), pdns_recursor 3.1.4 just stopped answering on its bge0 interface. However, it was still responding to queries on 127.0.0.1.
The testing was done with the "queryperf" tool from the bind-9 distribution, called locally with queryperf -q 200 -t 5 -s <ip> -d queries File "queries" contained ca. 680.000 original queries collected on a production dns server running bind-9. The logfile showed just the following entries: Dec 13 16:46:41 ... [ID 702911 daemon.error] stats: 442366 questions, 273871 cache entries, 171144 negative entries, 0% cache hits Dec 13 16:46:41 ... [ID 702911 daemon.error] stats: throttle map: 18566, ns speeds: 21643 Dec 13 16:46:41 ... [ID 702911 daemon.error] stats: outpacket/query ratio 277%, 0% throttled, 0 no-delegation drops Dec 13 16:46:41 ... [ID 702911 daemon.error] stats: 2304 outgoing tcp connections, 204 queries running, 133790 outgoing timeouts The silence on bge0 occurred at about 500.000 queries and continued even after shutdown of queryperf. Could this be the effect of throttling - a client punishment somehow? "5 timeouts in 20 seconds also lead to query suppression" comes to my mind. I couldn't query the server from a different client ip, since the box was barred by ipf. Today I repeated the test run in order to reproduce the failure, but id did not happen again.
