Re: Bandwidth needed for DNS server?
[Dragoncrest wrote ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on 7/25/03 12:06 AM] Hi again all. Looking to go into the next stage of our move to Linux by implementing an internal authoritative DNS server. why not move to FreeBSD instead? you're already posting to the freebsd-questions list. ;) (yes FreeBSD is not linux) I only expect to hold zones for 4 different domains on it for now, so I'm not expecting much from it, but I'm curious how much bandwidth usage to plan for. very minor I would say, tho of course it depends on the traffic to those domains and other factors, but very small, like in the 1GB and less range for the dns stuff. Right now our ISP does all our DNS, but I'd like to take it in house if possible so we have direct control over it. If all our TTL's are set to 24 hours, what could I expect to see as far as an increase in bandwidth usage by doing this? I'd like to be able to plan how and where I'm going to implement this so as to have the least impact on our network. and don't forget not to use Bind. try tinydns or another small, fast, easy-to-administer and secure dns server. -- george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ Quality Zope Hosting Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ICQ: 51907738 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and don't forget not to use Bind. try tinydns or another small, fast, easy-to-administer and secure dns server. Use whatever DNS server you want. btw there is nothing wrong with bind. People find holes in software that is popular because they look more often. To use bind, you must buy a book though... their documentation sucks. Have you noticed that open source software is free except that you must buy documentation making it not free?

(i refer to cost rather than the gnu definition ) i have never need to buy documentation in order to successfully depoy djbdns on multiple servers. djbdns is well documented and whatsmore it has a smaller footprint. tinydns is popular, welll-used and well-examined but you don't see even 1/10th of the security holes and problems with bind. anyway, i don't mean to get into a religious war, i just find tinydns/djbdns to be excellent and easy to use software and so i am promoting it to this person. -- george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ Quality Zope Hosting Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ICQ: 51907738 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like to be able to plan how and where I'm going to implement this so as to have the least impact on our network. a) Why are you posting this to a freebsd list instead of a Linux or BIND list? b) When you say internal authoritative, do you mean that it is authoritative for your public domain, answering queries from the Internet about your publicly available hosts, or for your internal private domain, resolving queries from the intranet about all the hosts in your organization? c) Your bandwidth will depend on how popular your exposed hosts are. It's rarely significant in the grand scheme of things, but that's a pretty broad statement. d) Why set your TTLs to 24 hours, do you have resolvable hosts that move around that much?
