Well, after days of running I must admit that I underestimated the domestic querying traffic here in Taiwan. Even if I enabled the *flake* option to intentionally drop 10% of incoming query, my 384kbps uplink still get jammed easily and eventually the score falls.
I'm afraid that the DNS load balancing is broken by design when there is only several servers available in a zone. If the DNS just throws all 3 or 4 servers out in a single query, there is no weight difference between these servers and all servers have the same chance of being queried by clients. Maybe the DNS shall reply with less IP (1 or 2) in this extreme condition. 2015-09-03 5:38 GMT+08:00 Arnold Schekkerman <[email protected]>: > Hi Alica, > > On 02-09-15 20:00, Alica wrote: > > I am afraid that I cannot serve > > oversea requests with such a lowend hardware and massive domestic > > requests.
