Hi There, I installed pdns-recursor 4.0.3 on a CentOS 6.5 box, that has 20 physical cores and 128G RAM. When I set the threads in /etc/pdns-recursor/recursor.conf to be 4 or 12, then issued tons of queries (one query sent multiple times using multiple dnsperf instances simultaneously) at it, I noticed only 2 of the threads were working actively, each using almost 100% CPU and ~90% CPU, respectively. The other threads were using 0% CPU.
With a previous version pdns-recursor 3.6.0 and the same test case, I could get 1 million qps, but with this new version that's supposed to have better performance, I am only getting ~200k qps. The way I installed it was by executing the following command (copied from the powerdns website): yum install epel-release yum-plugin-priorities && curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/powerdns-rec-40.repo https://repo.powerdns.com/ repo-files/centos-rec-40.repo && yum install pdns-recursor The only thing I changed was local-address, allow-from, and threads (in the /etc/pdns-recursor/recursor.conf file). Could you give me some insights on why this is happening, and what I should change in order to get all the threads to work? Thanks a lot, Grace
