OpenBSD outperforms Windows but is the slowest (compared to Linux, fBSD, nBSD and Solaris!) of the other tested OSs. :-/ This is completely unsurprising, considering that BIND takes advantage of multiple processors (the test bed system has four cores) by using threads. It's essentially testing for things that OpenBSD doesn't do, so OpenBSD doesn't do well. What's really amazing is that of the operating systems which let BIND use all four cores, the performance varied from NetBSD having a 20% performance boost, to Linux which saw a 160% boost. That looks like the limiting factors (once you can spread BIND across all processors) are probably things like the ability of the network stack to process all those packets - something at which OpenBSD excels. -- Matthew Weigel hacker [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But how many sites get even over 10,000 authoritative queries per second? Our network isn't huge (several million HTTP requests per day), but a brief look at our logs shows we get on the order of 30 queries per second across our two DNS servers. From their numbers, our DNS traffic could grow 1000 fold before that's the limiting factor. Do other sites have disproportionately more DNS traffic for their network size than this?
Re: OpenBSD as DNS Server - Benchmarked by ISC.. and it's well... :-(
I told you before you should use linux. OpenBSD sucks. Dude.. wanna bitching again? You also just see the downsides of something, right? It was not supposed to show how much OpenBSD sucks! OpenBSD outperforms still a OS wich is leading in the world.. MS Windows! Even the IPv6-Part or the Network Stack are far from bein cute or perfect. And that's the impressiv thing here! Of course the ISC test was kinda technical with no real life enviroment at all but it may shows that OpeenBSD still outperforms commercial Software. And that's damn great and there's nothing to murn about! But it wouldn't hurt if you may take it as a little motivation to take a even closer look to the IP-Stack. You'll be suprised what you might find propably. *my personal oppinion so flame me privately* :) Kind regards, Sebastian

From their numbers, our DNS traffic could grow 1000 fold before that's the limiting factor. I agree with yo. My company it's one of the bigger in hosting business in my country (Spain), we offer DNS free services and the RRDs monitor shows aprox. 80-120 queries per second in each of the three DNS servers. Despite of that, the improvement of network stack in 4.2 version has been amazing. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

I can not even begin to fathom who needs tens of thousands of DNS queries a second. No not even root servers need that. As usual your drivel does not add anything to this community. This performance test is not even remotely interesting. And that's damn great and there's nothing to murn about! I am mourning the fact that you use OpenBSD.

Marco, I see three things from you (not in order of importance): (1) Harrassing people like sebastian who are only trolls. (2) Good code doing very useful things. (3) Pretty helpful responses to people about anything you've touched in (2) above. Thanks for all three!
